Description
Bottled at a cask strength this powerful rye is deeply complex with a touch of sweetness followed by toasted notes.
The Willett Family has a long Whiskey-making history stretching back into the 1700s. The family has worked for others and operated their own distillery off-and-on for well over two-hundred years.
Prior to 2012 they were hand-selecting casks from the Kentucky Bourbon Distillers inventory for their releases. Since then, Willett Whiskeys are made from new-make spirit coming from their newly renovated distillery - opened in 2012 - and appropriately called the Willet Distilling Company. They deliver no fewer than a dozen varieties. The name is long enough to tell you just about everything you need to know about this Whiskey - Willett Family Estate 4 Year Old Small Batch Rye. Obviously, it's a four-year-old Rye Whiskey and bottled at a nearly cask strength.
Please note, stock is limited from secondary market releases.
Tasting Notes
Nose: High alcohol content and spiciness of the Rye surprise the nose with power before toasted oak and toffee appear.Palate: Taken neat, it?s a powerful dram. Flavors mingle with frolic stone fruits, vanilla, cherry and baking spices that come the surface.Finish: It has a solid and complex finish normally only found in older spirits.
