Yet again, we’ve managed to pull off a coup by landing some incredibly special liquid that ought to cost two or three times more than it does. Even I have to remind myself to pause and simply enjoy it. Willett whiskey, aged seven and a half years with a secondary maturation, bottled at 117 proof, and drawn from one of four exclusive barrels we’ll be receiving. This is the very reason we do what we do. The nose greets you with dense maple and roasted nuts, wrapped in warm winter spices and blackberry jam. The first sip unfolds with dark berries, cinnamon-raisin toast, clove, anise, pink peppercorn, and burnt caramel. The finish seems to last forever, echoing the opening notes while layering in leather, sweet brown butter cookies, and sugared oak. It is a phenomenal whiskey at a phenomenal price, and I can’t wait to taste it alongside the other selections.

The program being offered by Hirsch remains one of the most exciting in Kentucky today. These are those famous stocks that no one is supposed to talk about. Produced at an unnamed Bardstown distillery from their famous mashbill – 76% corn, 13% rye, & 15% malted barley. Those whiskies were rebarreled and aged for a further period at Bardstown Bourbon Company. Selected by our spirits team in early Spring of 2025 and bottled at cask strength. These are still inarguably some of the most sought-after stocks in the industry – so much so that the exact same mashbill bottled by the distillery at the very same aged, easily commands 2-3 times the price at retail. Here we’re more interested in getting our customers this special bourbon at an incredible price. These maybe the final stocks to ever be released of these special lot of whisky. This barrel was distilled on January 11th, 2018 and bottled in late June of 2025, making it 7.5 years old. At a barrel strength of 117 proof you’ll not find a better Bardstown distilled bourbon on the market for less.
