Willett Family Estate 7 Year Old Barrel 9688 Straight Rye Whiskey

One of the most exclusive whiskies on the market, Willett Family estate bourbons, and ryes are rarely released and when they are, they are mostly sold to private groups or retailers, making them very hard to obtain. Lately, several of their in-house barrels have reached maturation and we’re seeing more of the 4-year-old and 6-year-old releases, but still, Willett Family Estate spirits are referred to as Unicorn Whiskies. It’s not just the rarity that makes them so popular, it’s their distinct flavor. Any whiskey that has the honor of representing the Willett family estate name is an exceptional spirit. One of their absolute winners, a WFE 7 Years Old was made with a typical high rye mashbill of 74% rye, 11% corn, and 15% malted barley and aged in the white oak barrels in the family estate’s cellars in Kentucky for 7 years. The whiskey was hand bottled at 105.8 Proof but is surprisingly elegant for such a powerful whisky.

• Size: 750mL
• Proof: 105.8 (52.9% ABV)

Tasting Notes

Strong on the nose, this whiskey is loaded with aromas: there are notes of mint, vanilla, orange peel, anise, cotton candy, honey, pipe tobacco, and toasted oak. On the palette, you can taste orange, sugar, and fresh herbs, some water will bring out a sweet taste of berries. The finish is lingering and comes in the form of spice, cherry cola, and wood char. A tremendous find.
