Willett Single Barrel Estate Reserve, Barrel # A-4614, 47%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2008 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Rye Whiskey
Bottled in a glass pot still decanter. Soft and elegant on the nose and palate, and very well balanced. An incredibly drinkable whiskey. There's no age statement on the bottle, but it was bottled at just the right time, based on its great balance of flavors. Notes of vanilla, coconut, and crème brulee provide a base for emerging notes of cedar wood shavings, cinnamon, soft mint, and a hint of fennel. A very graceful bourbon.
