WILLETT 8 ans 2016 Bourbon Single Barrel Itinéraires

$470.00

In the spring of 1936, Thompson Willett began construction of the Willett Distillery. The first barrel was filled and laid down for maturation on March 17, 1937—St. Patrick’s Day. After falling dormant in 1980 and later being purchased in 1984 by Martha Willett, the founder’s granddaughter, and her husband, Even Kulsveen, the distillery resumed production on January 21, 2012, under its original name following extensive renovations. Made from a mash bill of 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% barley, this expression is a true ode to the glory of corn. Long afterward, the aromas rising from the dried residues in the empty glass offer a vivid testament to this identity.

Description

Profile:
Fine, deep. Apricot, pepper. Corn, citrus. Precious woods, curry.

Colour: Old gold with copper highlights.

Nose: Fine and deep. Delicious notes of apricot and pepper intertwine with remarkably pure corn aromas. With aeration, scents of citrus (orange, mandarin), wax, salted butter caramel, cucumber, and ginger add further complexity.

Palate: Lively yet subtle. Closely echoing the nose, the flavour profile opens with intense notes of orange, caramel, and corn. It then evolves toward heady tones of oak stave, praline, and dried fruits (date, walnut).

Finish: Rich and silky. Powdery (cocoa, ginger) and vanilla-driven, the finish gradually takes on more oriental nuances (curry, saffron, orange blossom). Remarkably fresh, the retronasal aromas invite the enjoyment of a fragrant cardamom tea.
