Willett Family Estate Small Batch Cask Strength Bourbon (4 Year Minimum)
Taste the next chapter of a Kentucky dynasty. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for rare and prestigious whiskeys, is proud to offer the Willett Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon. A highly anticipated addition to the legendary brand, this release bridges the gap between the ubiquitous Pot Still Reserve and the elusive "Purple Top" single barrels, offering a complex, cask-strength experience accessible to the true enthusiast.
Crafted by fifth-generation Master Distiller Drew Kulsveen, this small batch expression is a thoughtful commingling of two classic Willett family mash bills (typically a high-rye and a low-rye bourbon recipe). By marrying these distinct profiles, Kulsveen achieves a balance of "legendary roots and fresh elegance."
Crucially, this bourbon carries a minimum age statement of 4 years. This ensures that every drop has had sufficient time to mature in the fluctuating Kentucky climate, developing deep color and rich wood sugars. The spirit enters the barrel at a traditional 125 proof, but the final bottling proof varies from batch to batch, ensuring that each release is presented exactly as nature and the blender intended—Cask Strength, uncut, and full of character.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A rich and dusty aroma of dark cherries, seasoned oak, and vanilla bean, with a distinct floral undertone synonymous with the Willett house style.
Palate: Robust and coating. The cask strength delivers a punch of flavor, featuring notes of burnt caramel, baking spices (clove and nutmeg), and dark chocolate.
Finish: Long, warming, and complex. The finish lingers with hints of leather, black pepper, and a touch of sweet pipe tobacco.
Whether you are a long-time collector of the Family Estate line or looking to elevate your home bar with a high-proof heavyweight, this bottle delivers the pedigree you expect from Bardstown's finest.
