Willett Weited Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 8 Year
108 proof 8 years Bourbon Willett $259 65% corn, 20% wheat, 15% malted barley

Floral with chocolate-covered dried fruit notes (blueberry, cranberry), cinnamon toast crunch, vanilla, and light oak. Alcohol (ethanol) is present on the nose—avoid deep inhales. Perfume counter-like waft with layered aromas.

Balanced and smooth despite high proof. Fruity upfront with dried strawberry and special K cereal notes. Spice is amazingly present for a wheated whiskey. Chocolate lingers. Cinnamon toast crunch with milk. Creamy mouthfeel with a long, warm finish and a notable Kentucky hug (burn going down).

Long finish with significant Kentucky hug and heat. Spice, chocolate, and dried fruit linger. Well-balanced proof presence without aggression.

Impressive
A beautifully crafted wheated bourbon with impressive spice complexity for its style, smooth balance at high proof, and a memorable creamy, fruity palate that delivers excellent value despite premium pricing.
