I’ve been singing the praises of Bulleit bourbon on the grounds that it out performs most of the bourbons I’ve tried that are double and even triple the price. So I was rather excited to discover a bottle of Bulleit aged 10 years (about $45). Unfortunately it was a big disappointment and certainly was not worth the price. Up against Noah’s Mill it came over as pretty rough and ammonia-like. Noah’s Mill is the best bourbon I’ve tried and out does by a mile even those bourbons double the price (still a very reasonable 60 or so dollars) — so all in all this is THE bourbon to beat — if you can find a bottle! This is the one bourbon I’d pair with a good cigar.
