Willett Pot Still Reserve Bourbon 750 ml

The bottle gets Willett Pot Still Reserve picked up; the small batch Kentucky straight bourbon inside is why it gets refilled. The glass is a replica of the pot still at the Bardstown distillery where it is made, and the mash bill is the quieter surprise, running 65% corn, 20% wheat, and 15% malted barley, a wheated recipe that trades rye bite for softness. At 94 proof it carries caramel, vanilla, and orange sweetness with a little baking spice and a clean oak landing. Nothing in the glass shouts; this is a composed pour with enough backbone to stand up over ice. Give it as the bourbon gift that looks the part, or keep it as the bottle guests ask about.

How to drink Willett Pot Still Reserve

The wheated mash bill makes this an easy neat pour, but it's soft enough to also work well over ice on a warm night. Its low-key sweetness makes it a natural fit for an Old Fashioned if you want to mix it.
