From the Big Daddy of Bourbon and Rye Bottling.
The Willett Distilling Company or Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, as it is also known, is a small, family-owned company that markets Bourbon and Rye Whiskey. They’re located in Bardstown, Kentucky. As a relatively large independent bottling company, they’re called the big daddy of Bourbon and Rye Bottling.
The company wasn’t actually operating as a distillery from 1980 to 2012, when they re-established the distilling process using both column and pot stills. So far they’ve been using Whiskey distilled elsewhere to make their products, and it will be a few more years before they can use their own distillates because of the necessary aging process.
Willett Pot Still Reserve Bourbon was introduced in 2008 and is a hand-selected, limited Kentucky straight Bourbon, aged 8-10 years and bottled at 47% ABV. It comes in one of the coolest decanters on the market.
Appearance / Color
Mahogany
Smell / Nose / Aroma
A bit cognac-y. Soft, delicate, with notes of jasmine, vanilla, sweet corn, cinnamon and ginger.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Woody and medium body. Hints of nut, oak, black tea, butterscotch, lemon, dried corn and hints of rye. Bananas when water is added.
Finish
Medium-long, spicy, herbal with notes of rye.
