Bulleit '87 Frontier Whiskey 750ml

Discover a bold new chapter in American whiskey with Bulleit '87 Frontier Whiskey 750ml, the first-ever Bulleit expression to bring bourbon and rye whiskey together in a single blend. Named for 1987, the year Bulleit was founded, the '87 designation celebrates the brand's frontier spirit rather than an age statement.

Bulleit '87 combines Kentucky bourbon with Indiana rye, with both components aged for a minimum of four years. Before blending, the whiskeys are individually finished for four to six weeks with toasted American oak and French oak staves, adding another dimension of caramelized sweetness, oak structure, and warming spice. It is then blended and bottled in Shelbyville, Kentucky at 90 proof (45% ABV).

The result brings together the best of both whiskey styles: the inviting sweetness and body of bourbon alongside the lively spice and structure of rye. Aromas of caramel and brown sugar lead into warm baking spices and structured oak, followed by a layered finish balancing sweetness with gentle rye spice.

Bulleit '87 also stands out visually with a striking blue label—the first of its kind for the brand— on Bulleit's signature frontier-style bottle.
