Willett Family Estate Bourbon small batch 4 year 750ml

Willett Family Estate Small Batch is a four-year cask-strength bourbon from the family-owned Bardstown distillery whose purple-top single barrels command collector prices — this is the everyday door into that house. Fifth-generation distiller Drew Kulsveen mingles roughly fifty barrels per batch from two house mash bills, weighted heavily toward the high-rye recipe, and bottles the result unfiltered at whatever proof the batch delivers. It pours bold: wintergreen and fresh baking spice bloom first, cinnamon and clove laced with sweet citrus, then caramel candy and vanilla frosting settle beneath a long, warming finish. A few drops of water open the fruit. A characterful, structured bourbon — and the Willett name without the purple-top price.

How to drink Willett Family Estate Small Batch

Try it neat first, then add a few drops of water if you want the fruit notes to open further — cask strength gives you room to adjust it to taste. It has enough backbone for an Old Fashioned if you'd rather not save the whole pour for sipping.
