Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Willett Family Estate Bottled Bourbon is a very unusual whiskey in many regards. The bourbon label exists for the sole purpose of our family’s Private Barrel Selection program and is the only label of its kind in existence. It is an un-chill filtered, barrel proof, straight Bourbon Whiskey of unusual depth and complexity.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Funky, heavy caramel in the nose. Bright oak, paper and vanilla mingle gently on a deeper inhale. It noses light like the proof point might suggest. A deeper dive of the nose produces candied cherry, plum and creamy, viscous grape clafoutis.

Palate: Where the nose started light, this starts with a bang! Cherry hots sizzle on the top of the tongue as a soft, juicy pear and grapefruit co-mingle in the background. Another sip builds in a touch of lemon peel, tingling bright vanilla and sweet kiwi frozen yogurt.

One last sip of the glass produces a big wave of plum, raisin, blackberries, and caramel. The mouth feels thicker now more than ever as the sips build upon each other. The linger is medium with a soft draw down from a slightly earthy caramel bar.
