Green Parrot Package Goods and Spirits has that special gift for that special person on your Christmas list:

Bulleit 10 Year Old Bourbon

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The long awaited followup to Bulleit’s regular bourbon and rye whiskies – a 10 year old bourbon. Fantastically balanced, with great controlled sweetness, and a backbone of oak and spice.

Bulleit Distilling Company already has a pair of well-loved whiskeys on the market: their bourbon is a consistent fan favorite, and their rye has the supreme distinction of being declared one of Will Gordon’s “very favorite liquors” in a recent whiskey battle. Not content to rest on their laurels, Bulleit recently released an extra-aged version of their flagship bourbon. Select barrels of the spirit were set aside to age for a full 10 years in charred American white oak, and the result is headed to a shelf near youBulleit Bourbon

The original Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey has a high rye content, which reveals itself in the scent: smoky oak blends with vanilla and a spicy rye freshness. The flavor is pretty straightforward, a sweetness from the corn joining with spices and leading to a medium finish. It’s uncomplicated and enjoyable but retains a certain ruggedness, a welcome departure from similarly priced entry-level bourbons.
