Willett Estate 8 Year Old Exclusive Barrel Bourbon (Barrel No.5262) Proof 132.0 8 year 750 ml

Willett is a Kentucky Bardstown distillery long known first as a bottler of sourced whiskey and now increasingly for its own distillate, and this Estate bottling is an 8 year single barrel bourbon, barrel No. 5262, bottled at cask strength, 132 proof (66% ABV). At that proof and age, expect a dense, intense bourbon with heavy caramel, dark fruit and oak spice, and real heat that needs managing. Because it's a single barrel, character is specific to this exact cask and won't be repeated. It's aimed squarely at serious bourbon collectors who chase Willett's single barrel program.

How to drink Willett Estate Single Barrel

Add water in small increments — at 132 proof this is meant to be cut down, and doing so gradually lets you find the sweet spot for this specific barrel.
