Bulleit American Single Malt Whiskey 750 ML

An American Single Malt

After decades of experimentation by distillers across the country, in 2022 the TTB proposed the following definition for the American Single Malt:

An American Single Malt must be made from 100% malted barley, distilled entirely at one U.S. distillery, mashed, distilled, and aged in the United States, distilled to 160 proof (80% abv) or less, and matured in oak barrels that hold no more than 700 liters.

Bulleit American Single Malt is our unique take on this emerging category, crafted with a specially curated malt barley strain aged in charred American white oak barrels.

Tasting Notes:

While we’ve subbed our signature high rye grains for 100% malted barley, our American Single Malt still has that signature, subtle Bulleit spice with aromas of sweet vanilla and toasted oak.

It’s light and fruity on the palate with hints of red fruit and pear, which follow into a smooth finish of oaky caramel and subtle cocoa notes.

Distillation process:

We distill Bulleit American Single Malt the same way we craft our bourbon—on a copper column still with a secondary distillation in a copper doubler.

One key difference for the American Single Malt process is that we distill to a slightly higher proof than Bulleit Bourbon, delivering a lighter, brighter, and more delicate taste profile.
