Willett Family Estate Decade Neat Straight Rye Barrel No 1515 Proof 103.6 10 year 750 ml

This is a Willett Family Estate single barrel straight rye, barrel 1515, bottled at ten years and 103.6 proof for the Decade Neat pick. Willett bottles these one barrel at a time at the family's Bardstown, Kentucky distillery, which is why no two labels taste quite alike and why the numbers on the front are worth reading. A decade in oak has pushed this one well past raw rye spice: dried mint and cocoa on the nose, then a thick palate of caramel, clove and old leather, with the pepper arriving late. The finish is long and dry. Neat, in a small glass.

Note: this is a single-barrel release, individually hand-picked and bottled, so a photo of this exact barrel isn't available. The bottle pictured is a representative example of the Willett Family Estate Single Barrel line — go by the barrel number and proof in the title and description above for this specific release.
