Craft a classic high-rye bourbon-style spirit with our High-Rye Bourbon Mash Bill Kit, inspired by the grain profile commonly associated with Bulleit® Bourbon.

This kit is designed for those who prefer a more assertive, spice-driven bourbon character. Unlike wheated or low-rye bourbons, high-rye mash bills emphasize rye as a key secondary grain, creating a bolder flavor profile with distinctive notes of pepper, baking spice, and dry oak complexity.

The grain bill is carefully balanced to maintain a traditional bourbon foundation while highlighting rye’s signature spice. Corn provides sweetness and body, rye delivers structure and intensity, and malted barley supports enzymatic balance and depth of flavor development.

To support efficient starch conversion, this kit includes High Temperature Amylase and Gluco Amylase enzymes. These help improve consistency and performance across a wide range of grain handling setups, making the kit suitable for both beginners and experienced grain enthusiasts.

Each kit also includes charred American oak for aging. Over time, the oak adds layers of vanilla, caramel, toasted wood, and spice, rounding out the sharper rye-forward profile into a well-balanced bourbon-style spirit.

This kit is ideal for those who enjoy bold, complex whiskey profiles and want to explore one of the most popular modern bourbon styles.
