SOLD OUT

WILLETT 8 ans Family Estate Bourbon Single Barrel #18632 Foundations

$480.00

Located in Bardstown, the Willett distillery was founded in 1936 by Thompson Willett.

It was closed in 1980 and reopened in January 2012 after significant renovations carried out by Martha Willett and her husband Even Kulsveen.

Equipped with a stainless steel column still and a squat pot still with a very long swan neck, it produces bourbons and rye whiskeys known for their finesse and complexity.

Both extroverted and deeply imbued with moving, classic corn scents and flavors, this version is enjoyed like a captivating book, savoring from the first to the last page without stopping.

Description

Tasting Notes


Colour
: Old gold with amber highlights.

Nose : Fine, balanced. Initially, aromas of corn, tangerine, and beeswax lend a great nobility of expression to the aromatic palette. With aeration, it evolves toward more floral (geranium, hyacinth), powdery (cocoa), and spiced notes.

Palate : Crisp, vibrant. The entry is cereal-like, while also being vanilla and fruity (apple jam, quince jelly). Licorice notes then oscillate between cinnamon, new oak, and dried fruits (cashew nuts, almond).

Finish : Long, radiant. The tasting lingers on spicy, medicinal (sinapism), and camphor flavors. With a rooty character (gentian), the finish is pleasantly salty. Long after, in retro-nasal olfaction, a bay leaf infusion refreshes the palate perfectly.
