(proof varies)
The barrels that went into this small batch combined to make an amazing drinker.
Nose- Beautiful layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your dessert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak to remind you that this is high proof youthful.
Palette- A robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, and spices for days. It's a delicious rye with a weighty mouthfeel.
Balance - It's insanely well balanced with the alcohol so perfectly integrated at 115 proof you'll forget its there, but you'll find yourself smiling more and happier with each dram.
Finish- the finish is long and the spices dominate this batch, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface.

The Willett family distillers brought their distilling knowledge with them from England to the American Colonies in the early 1600's. Before coming to the colonies, they had utilized their knowledge and practiced their talents for many years. They distilled brandy in France, where the family originated. Even today, this is evidenced by "Square Willette" at the foot of Montmarte in Paris. Finally, in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky - the "Bourbon Centre" of the world - the Willett family distillers became involved with developing several of the most famous bourbon distilleries of the area and, in the early 1900's decided to build their family owned and operated distillery. The distillery they named "The Willett Distilling Company" in 1935, which has been operated by several generations of the Willett family distillers since its very beginning."
