Flavor Profile Differences

Nutty, grain-driven character is the divider.

  • Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year: The older version of Bulleit's high-rye bourbon. Ten years add a lot of oak and leather to the usual rye spice, and the finish turns dry and woody.
  • Play Like a Champion Today Double Oaked Wheated Bourbon: A Notre Dame-licensed wheater given a second, double-oaked barrel. Maple, honey butter and toasted nuts lead, with charred wood and pepper on a long, warm finish.

Which One Should You Choose?

  • Go with Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year if you want an oak-forward, ten-year high-rye bourbon at a gentle proof with an older age statement and without hunting for it.
  • Go with Play Like a Champion Today Double Oaked Wheated Bourbon if you want a double-oaked wheater with maple, toasted nuts and charred wood with slightly more proof behind it.

Best enjoyed neat, rocks (Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year); neat, old-fashioned (Play Like a Champion Today Double Oaked Wheated Bourbon).
