Willett 8 Year Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a premium small-batch bourbon aged for a minimum of 8 years. The first release was distilled in early Spring 2013 and bottled in Summer 2022. The proprietary mash bill features corn, wheat, and malted barley, barreled at 115 proof in Char #4 American Oak. Willett bottles this bourbon without chill-filtration to preserve maximum flavor.

This wheated bourbon offers a complex flavor profile with notes of honey, sweet cherry, cinnamon, vanilla, and oak. The nose opens with aromas of corn, light citrus, vanilla, and caramel, while the palate delivers honey, oak, candy corn, and burnt crème brûlée. The finish features pepper, sweet cherry, cinnamon, and a pleasant warmth. Deep char and French vanilla notes add richness to this exceptional bourbon.

Bottled at 54% ABV (108 proof), this is a highly allocated release that pairs well with smoked pork, salty snacks, and dried fruit. Each bottle contains 750ml of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey distilled, aged, and bottled by Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. This collector's item features Willett's distinctive purple top closure and represents one of the finest wheated bourbons available.
