re: Your ‘Craft’ Rye Whiskey Is Probably From a Factory Distillery in Indiana

I was never under the impression that Bulleit was supposed to be 'craft'. I just heard it was good, tried it and liked it.

It isn’t just small start-ups using MGP rye. Though Bulleit is owned by drinks behemoth Diageo, the highly touted brand maintains a craft whiskey vibe, especially Bulleit Rye. The brand’s website says that “High rye content has always been the signature of Tom Bulleit’s distinctive bourbon. It was only a matter of time before he created a rye whiskey.” But “creating” isn’t the same thing as “distilling,” and, as Bulleit Rye properly discloses on its back label, the whiskey in the bottle comes from Lawrenceburg, Indiana. -
