But compare those two sipped neat and you will get an entirely different result. It's too much of an apples to oranges comparison with 40% abv Beam having just 51% rye in the mash bill compared to 45% abv Bulleit and it's 95% rye content.

Probably for most rye cocktails I think a mild standard proof rye like Overholt or Beam works great, but I much prefer the spicier high rye products for sipping.
