Willett Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 8 Year @ 00:09:17
108 proof 8 years Bourbon Willett Bardstown, KY $259 65% corn, 20% wheat, 15% malted barley

Floral with chocolate-covered dried berries, cinnamon toast crunch notes, spicy character typical of Willett profile, vanilla with subtle oak, significant ethanol presence requires careful nosing

Balanced and smooth despite high proof, cinnamon toast crunch with milk, dried strawberry and fruit notes, chocolate present, prominent spice for a wheated whiskey, softer than traditional Willett expressions but still assertive, fruity on the front with a long finish, significant Kentucky hug with burn going down

Long finish with notable heat and spice, Kentucky hug bigger than typical, lingering dried fruit and cinnamon notes

Top notch
A beautifully crafted wheated bourbon that balances smoothness with impressive spice and fruit complexity, marking a successful new expression for Willett despite the premium price point.
