Flavor Profile Differences
Proof and heat dominate the difference.
- Bulleit Bourbon: The bottle that put high-rye bourbon in every cocktail bar in the country. Peppery and dry with the familiar MGP dill note, and it earns its place behind the bar more than in a glass on its own.
- Jack Daniel’s 14 Year: The oldest Jack Daniel's in over a century, bottled near barrel proof. Butterscotch and bakery spice over rich leather, old oak and pipe tobacco.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Bulleit Bourbon if you want a dry, peppery, high-rye bourbon built for cocktails and available absolutely everywhere at a significantly lower price point.
- Go with Jack Daniel’s 14 Year if you want the oldest, strongest Jack Daniel's on the shelf with significantly more proof behind it.
