Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep amber with golden highlights and slow-forming legs that hint at its rich body and higher proof.
Nose
Aromas of caramel, vanilla, and sweet corn rise immediately, followed by warm layers of toasted oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Subtle hints of cherry, orange peel, and toffee add brightness and depth, while a touch of woodiness reveals its youthful four-year character.
Palate
The first sip opens with creamy caramel and vanilla, quickly joined by toasted oak, dark fruit, and baking spice. Mid-palate, notes of toffee, buttered corn, and chocolate emerge, offering a satisfying balance between sweetness and spice. The high proof delivers a pleasant warmth without overwhelming the smooth texture, giving this bourbon both structure and elegance.
Finish
Medium-to-long in length, the finish lingers with flavors of oak, black pepper, and cinnamon, followed by a final echo of caramel and vanilla sweetness. It’s a satisfying, full-bodied ending that invites another sip.

Elevate your bourbon experience with Willett Family Estate 4 Year Bourbon, an exceptional small-batch whiskey crafted at the historic Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky—the heart of bourbon country. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is aged for four years in new charred American white oak barrels, developing a beautifully balanced profile of sweetness, spice, and oak character.
Bottled at cask strength, this expression showcases the Willett family’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship and quality. Each barrel is hand-selected for its rich flavor and bold complexity, producing a bourbon that captures both youthful energy and refined depth.
Presented in Willett’s signature bottle with its elegant crest and labeling, the 4 Year Bourbon appeals equally to collectors and enthusiasts seeking authenticity and bold Kentucky flavor. Enjoy it neat, with a splash of water, or as the star of a premium cocktail—this bourbon is designed to impress at every pour.
