Willett Family Estate 6 Year Single Barrel Rye Whiskey The Lexington 114.2 Proof

This rye is beloved by many in the spirits industry. The history of the Willett family in the distilling trade goes back generations, back to before Kentucky was a state, and the history means there is a strong tradition of quality production. But the distillery has also undergone drastic renovations in recent years, making it a perfect mix of tradition and innovation. This rye is a touch briny and has notes of cinnamon and a hint of smoke on the nose, with chocolate and cereals on the palate. The finish is long, complex, and quite smooth for something bottled at 110 proof; we found wood spice and cherry to be the dominant notes.Aged in hand selected White Oak Barrels for 6 yearsHand bottled from Barrel No. 2319Alc 57.1% 114.2 ProofBottle Size: 750 ml
