Willett Family Estate 6 Year Old Single Barrel Straight Kentucky Bourbon

$49.99

This remarkably complex bourbon is beautifully spiced, showing citrus with a touch of vanilla.  The mid-palate slowly goes towards toasted coconut and almonds.  Amazing flavors for a young whiskey.  With a feisty finish that packs lots of heat, this one’s not for the fainthearted. 

Barrel #703
59.5% ABV.

History

The Willett family distillers brought their distilling knowledge with them from England to the American Colonies in the early 1600’s.  Before coming to the colonies, they had utilized their knowledge and practiced their talents for many years.  They distilled brandy in France, where the Family originated. 

In Bardstown, KY  the “Bourbon Center” of the world- the Willett family became involved with developing several of the most famous bourbon distilleries of the area.  In the early 1900’s they decided to build their family owned and operated distillery.  In 1935 they named the distillery “The Willett Distilling Company”and has been operated by several generations of Willett family distillers since its very beginning.  Today the distillery is home to “Kentucky Bourbon Distiller, Ltd” and is still run by a member of the Willett family.
