Bulleit’s Eboni Major
Diageo Launches Craftswomen Program
International spirits giant Diageo, which owns the Bulleit bourbon and rye whiskeys and operates a distillery in Shelby County, has introduced a line of spirits to honor the women in its company including Johnnie Walker master blender Emma Walker, Cascade Hollow general manager and distiller Nicole Austin, and Bulleit’s blender Eboni Major.
Major has created a Bulleit Bourbon Blender’s Select No. 001, a combination of three of the Bulleit recipes and described as having “distinct notes of vanilla bean, honey, dried fruit, and toasted oak, as well as a smooth finish with a lingering of sweet cream and fruit wine decadence.”
The limited addition, 100 proof bourbon retails for about $50 and has been released nationally. For more information, https://www.bulleit.com/whiskeys/bulleit-blenders-select/.
