A tangible interpretation of the brand's independent and bold persona, the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Woody-Tailgate Trailer was created by Brad Ford. Named by Departures Magazine as a tastemaker for the next generation of designers, Ford has become a name synonymous with interior design.

"I wanted to create something that would express the brand's unique character, yet would also elevate an activity that all of us are familiar with," said Ford. "The Whiskey Woody-Tailgate Trailer truly speaks to the pioneering spirit of the Bulleit brand. It revolutionizes the tailgating experience."

Having a retro-chic outer design, the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Woody-Tailgate Trailer comes with state-of-the art interior entertainment and sound systems, sleek leather furnishings and details from Moore & Giles. Inherently compact with characteristics central to the Bulleit brand, the interior finishings are even handcrafted from reclaimed Bulleit Bourbon casks.

"I was excited when I initially heard of Brad's vision to create a luxury tailgate trailer and my expectations were exceeded by the final product," said Tom Bulleit, Founder of the Bulleit Distilling Company. "Our team takes pride in how the Woody-Tailgate Trailer showcases our products, and we're honored to be included among Neiman Marcus' top fantasy gifts for the holiday season."

Neiman Marcus' annual list of fantasy gifts dates back to the 1950s when then president Stanley Marcus offered a Steiff plush tiger decorated with jewels for $1 million. The retailer's fantasy gift list tradition has since become a staple to the holiday season. With gifts typically ranging in price, from $5,000 to over $1 million, the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Woody-Tailgate Trailer is retailed at $150,000.

Like many of the fantasy gifts included in Neiman Marcus' Christmas Book, the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Woody-Tailgate Trailer also contains a charitable component, giving ten percent of its proceeds to The Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR). 

"The great thing is that you don't need the Tailgate Trailer to enjoy Bulleit this holiday season," added Bulleit. "Both Bulleit Bourbon and Bulleit Rye are available nationwide. So whether you're sipping Bulleit on the rocks among friends or enjoying a Manhattan at a family gathering, remember to celebrate the holidays responsibly."

About the Bulleit Distilling Company

Founded by Tom Bulleit, the Bulleit Distilling Co. was started more than 20 years ago with Bulleit Bourbon, and in March 2011, Bulleit Rye, a straight rye whiskey, was added to the portfolio with critical acclaim. Bulleit Bourbon ranks as one of the fastest-growing Small Batch Bourbons in America, which Tom largely credits to word of mouth recommendations.   Using only the finest ingredients available—the best grains, Kentucky's limestone filtered water, fresh from the Salt River and a special strain of yeast—the 150+ year-old family recipe uses a large amount of rye grain, which gives Bulleit Bourbon a distinctive taste.
