Willett Family Estate Bottled Single-Barrel 4 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey Kentucky

The barrels that went into this small batch combined to make an amazing drinker.Nose- Beautiful layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your dessert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak to remind you that this is high proof youthful.Palette- A robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, and spices for days. It's a delicious rye with a weighty mouthfeel.Balance - It's insanely well balanced with the alcohol so perfectly integrated at 115 proof you'll forget its there, but you'll find yourself smiling more and happier with each dram.Finish- the finish is long and the spices dominate this batch, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface.
