- Rowan's Creek: A small-batch Willett bottling that tastes rye-forward and herbal. Honey and caramel sit under mint, hay and warm spice, with a peppermint lift on the finish.
Which One Should You Choose?

- Go with Rowan's Creek if you want an herbal, minty, rye-forward Willett bottling with more proof behind it.
