Willett’s Pot Still
$15.00
Willett’s Pot Still, Reserve Single Barrel, is a small batch bourbon 94 proof named for the founders of the distillery. With tasting notes of soft and delicate. Vanilla, rose water, caramel, puff pastry and whipping cream. Just like the 8 Year Wheated version, the fruit notes are kind of hard to come by and confusingly ambiguous, a hint of poached pear and quince but they’re very light.
Palate: Cornbread notes demonstrate that this is still relatively young. I can’t escape this soft wave of perfume-y flavors either like jasmine, eucalyptus and breakfast tea with honey. Cinnamon does exist, but it’s light and delicate. There’s some licorice and unbaked dough flavors too. Overall, there is a youthful dynamic to each sip, but it’s not that offensive.
