About This Whiskey
Willett Family Estate 6 Year Rye is a single barrel, barrel-proof straight rye from the Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky.
The Family Estate label is Willett's single barrel program, so each bottle carries its own barrel number and proof, and no two barrels taste quite alike.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Rye bread, cherry, clove and mint, with fig and molasses in some barrels.
- Palate: Bold and oily, with black pepper, dark fruit jam and a herbal edge.
- Finish: Spicy and persistent, finishing on dill, oak and cinnamon.
Serving & Food
At barrel proof this rye takes water well: start neat in a Glencairn, then add a few drops and watch the fruit come up. Try it with pastrami, smoked duck or rye crackers and blue cheese.
Good to Know
How strong is it? Barrels range from about 113 to 127 proof.
What's the mash? 74% rye, 11% corn, 15% malted barley.
