Old Bardstown Estate Bottled Kentucky Straight Bourbon (750mL) — Willett Distillery | Original Family Recipe | 101 Proof

Old Bardstown Estate Bottled Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a classic Kentucky bourbon from the legendary Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, made using the original Willett family bourbon recipe.

Bottled at a robust 101 proof (50.5% ABV), Old Bardstown Estate combines traditional bourbon sweetness with a notably flavorful grain bill of 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% barley.

The result is a full-bodied Kentucky bourbon offering layers of caramel, vanilla, citrus, maple, sweet corn, cinnamon, herbs, and seasoned oak, followed by a long, warming finish.

🥃 The Original Willett Family Bourbon

Old Bardstown holds a special place in the Willett portfolio as the family's inaugural bourbon brand.

The Estate Bottled expression uses Willett's original family recipe, built around a high proportion of malted barley compared with many traditional bourbon recipes.

The 72% corn provides the bourbon's underlying sweetness, while 13% rye introduces spice and 15% barley contributes additional grain, malt, and aromatic complexity.

🥃 101 Proof

Bottled at 101 proof, Old Bardstown Estate delivers considerably more intensity than a typical 80- or 90-proof bourbon without moving into extreme barrel-proof territory.

The higher strength amplifies classic notes of:

Caramel

Vanilla

Orange

Maple

Cinnamon

Herbs

Oak

This combination makes it equally enjoyable as a sipping bourbon or as the foundation for a more robust whiskey cocktail.
