Legendary Kentucky distillery Willett is known for their pot-still bourbon bottled into a decanter in the shape of their pot still. They recently released a delicious still strength version of this decanter. This Bourbon uses 65% corn, 20% wheat and 15% barley and goes into the bottle at natural cask strength.
Caramel, vanilla and toasted oak come through with brown sugar, a little fresh mint and warm baking spice. The palate is full and creamy, with honeyed sweetness and a lingering oak finish. Start with a small pour neat, then add water a few drops at a time. There’s plenty of flavor to explore here, and the decanter certainly earns its place on the bar.bottle.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, fresh mint, brown sugar, wheat sweetness, and baking spice.
Palate: Full-bodied, with caramel, honey, vanilla, soft wheat, oak, cinnamon, and rich toasted grain.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering oak, vanilla, spice, caramel, mint, and cask-strength intensity.
