Willett Family Estate Dirty Dozen Straight Rye Barrel No 2520 Proof 119.2 12 year 750 ml

Barrel 2520, twelve years old and bottled at 119.2 proof, is a Willett Family Estate single barrel straight rye released as the Dirty Dozen pick. Willett bottles these barrel by barrel in Bardstown, Kentucky, at full strength and without blending toward a house average, so what is in this bottle is the work of one cask and nothing else. Twelve years shows: the nose is dark and resinous, the palate is heavy with toffee, dark cherry, clove and polished oak, and the proof carries a long, warming finish of rye pepper and tobacco. Add a few drops of water and take it neat.

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.
