Bulleit is my favorite Rye - I'm told most rye's use a mash bill (base whiskey) that all comes from either Beam or another big KY source, and that is only about 30-50% rye mixed with corn. Bulleit is one of the few that do their own mash, and I think that it is 100% rye. I don't do as much w/ bourbon/rye so haven't experimented as much - did try the Ri brand and found it to be disappointing (but that was several years ago).
