In 1987, Thomas E. Bulleit, Jr., fulfilled a lifelong dream of reviving an old family bourbon recipe by starting the Bulleit Distilling Company. Tom left a successful law practice and risked everything to experience life on the frontier. Today, we're not the only ones who are glad he did. To this day, Bulleit Bourbon is distilled and aged in the Bulleit family tradition. Our aging philosophy is simple: we wait until our bourbon is ready.
