Tasting Notes

Willett's own young distillate at full barrel proof. It is loud and sweet, all caramel corn, pastry and citrus, with a lot of heat for a four-year bourbon. Proof varies by batch.

Nose

buttered popcorn, vanilla, lemon meringue, toasted cinnamon

Palate

caramel corn, orange peel, creme brulee, pastry

Finish

honey, cantaloupe, black pepper, hot

Best enjoyed neat.
