Willett 5 Year Straight Kentucky Bourbon (750 mL)

Description

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 non-chill filtered, barrel proof, straight Bourbon Whiskey of unusual depth and complexity. 

Kown for its purple label 

Aged in hand-picked white Oak barrels for 5 years. 

ABV 61.9%, 123.8 Proof

Tasting Notes: 

Nose: Fairly restrained with minimal alcohol. Toasty at first with cornbread and dry oak notes, then gives way to some dark fruits and a bit of spice cabinet.

Palate: Explosion of sweet and juicy fruits: dark cherry, pulpy orange, tinned pears, and applesauce. Some caramel sauce and a healthy amount of spice in the mix, mostly cinnamon with a bit of clove, and an even, but not insignificant, heat warms the back of the throat from the first sip to the generous, fruit cocktail finish.
