Willett Family Estate 6-Year Single Barrel Bourbon #2136 "Cornbread" (124.8 proof)
124.8 proof 6 years Bourbon Willett Distillery

Prickly spicy character with peach, pear, and apple notes. Waxy pear peel quality. Corn and caramel sweetness with prominent peanut brittle drizzled with caramel. Despite high proof, alcohol comes through as spice and flavor rather than heat.

Full flavor bomb with spiciness and prickliness on the tip of the tongue. Layers of caramel, peanut, apple, and pear. Oak and baking spices work through mid-palate before presenting spicy, oaky finish. Sneaky after-finish brings back peanut sweetness and syrupy character on the back of the tongue.

All oak and spice with baking spices. Lingers on the middle and sides of the tongue before presenting spicy oak on the back. Subtle sweetness returns as an after-finish.

Overall Score
4.6 / 5
A flavorful, high-proof single barrel with exceptional complexity, layered fruit and nut notes, and an evolving finish that rewards patient sipping.
