American distillery Bulleit Frontier Whiskey has introduced “Bulleit ’87,” its first new permanent expression in 15 years and the brand’s first-ever blend of bourbon and rye in a single bottle. The name nods to 1987, the year Bulleit was founded, though it isn’t an age statement. The whiskey combines Kentucky-distilled bourbon with Indiana-distilled rye, each aged at least four years, then finished separately on toasted American and French oak staves for four to six weeks before being married and bottled in Shelbyville, Kentucky. Bulleit ’87 is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) and will roll out to select US retailers starting in September 2026 at a suggested price of $29.99 for a 750ml bottle. It’s the brand’s first release to carry a blue label.
