"Bulleit ’87 is a new permanent core expression and the first whiskey in Bulleit's history to blend bourbon and rye together in one bottle. Named in honor of 1987, the year Bulleit was founded, the “87” is not an age statement. Bulleit ’87 combines bourbon distilled and aged in Shelbyville, Kentucky, with rye distilled and aged in Indiana. Both whiskey components are aged for a minimum of four years, separately finished with toasted American oak and French oak staves, and then brought together in the final blend." —producer
