Matthew Harvey Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Hello my fellow bourbon drinker…what is the official pronunciation for Bulleit? We believe it is pronounced the same as bullet, the ammunition. Thank you for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Welcome to SB! While I am sure that the pronunciation is like the ammo…bullet, I’ll be damned if I can always remember how the whiskey is actually spelled…spelt… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Another for bullet, although……. I was at a store one time “browsing the booze”. Another guy was looking too. He saw me and we exchanged pleasantries. He picked up a bottle of Bulleit. He looked at me and asked if I knew anything about this “Boo-let” bourbon. I managed to keep a straight face and told him it was a pretty decent bourbon. He thanked me and headed to the checkout counter with bottle in hand. I did chuckle when he went around the corner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that a boo-let or boo-lay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Definitive pronunciation: "Bob". Easier to say! Spelled the same way forward or backward. Pronounced identically forward or backward. What's not to love, eh? Or . . . Maybe not.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
