The Willett Family Estate Bottled 4 Year Rye Whiskey is a masterful creation that embodies the rich heritage of the Willett Distillery, which has been crafting exceptional spirits since 1936.
Founded by Thompson Willett and still family-owned, this distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, remains a beacon of tradition and innovation. The 4 Year Rye is a true testament to their craftsmanship, blending history with bold, modern flavours.
Tasting Note: On the nose, this small-batch rye whiskey offers a blend of rich brandied cherries, tart cherry, and a hint of cinnamon and baking spices. As it opens, the aromas deepen with a touch of oak, adding a sweet and spicy warmth. On the palate, bold flavours of dark cherry and burnt vanilla stand out, accompanied by lingering spices. It has a full, rich mouthfeel, and despite its strength, the alcohol is so well balanced that it feels smooth and satisfying. The finish is long, with spices taking the lead, while the cherry flavour breaks through, leaving a lasting impression. It's a bold, balanced rye that will make you smile with every sip.
