Flavor Profile Differences
These two land very differently on the palate for heat.
- 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.
- Praedictum 15 Year: A 15-year, barrel-proof Kentucky bourbon from the Foley family's spirits group, picked and blended by their master distiller. Cherry, maple and spice, finishing on root beer and mint.
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 at a significantly lower price point and without hunting for it.
- Go with Praedictum 15 Year if you want a 15-year, barrel-proof Kentucky bourbon with cherry, maple and mint with an older age statement.
