The Story

About Willett Family Estate 6 Year Old Barrel 8268 Straight Bourbon Whiskey

One of the most exclusive whiskies on the market, Willett Family estate bourbons are rarely released and when they are, they are mostly sold to private groups or retailers, making them very hard to obtain. In the early 2020s, several of their in-house barrels have reached maturation and we’re seeing more of the 4 year old and 6 year old releases, but still, Willett Family Estate spirits are referred to as Unicorn Whiskies. It’s not just the rarity that makes them so popular, it’s their distinct flavor. The superb 6 Year Old Barrel Bourbon is made from Willett’s original mashbill of 72% corn, 13% rye, and 15% malted barley, aged on the top floor of the rickhouse in the family cellars in Kentucky for 6 years in hand-selected white oak barrels. Bottled at delightful 123.3 Proof, this Bourbon will bring some heat, but that doesn’t overpower an amazingly deep and complex flavor that will open up even further with a splash of water.

About Willett

For the Willett family, distilling craft whiskey is a family tradition. John David Willlett began distilling at the Moore, Willett & Frenke Distillery just outside of Louisville, Kentucky, during Reconstruction. In 1898, his son, A. Lambert Willett — who was just 15 years old at the time — began apprenticing with his father. Eventually, Lambert purchased a farm on the outskirts of Bardstown, Kentucky, and began construction of the Willett Distilling Company in the spring of 1935. While Willett Distilling Company eventually changed its name to Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, the family tradition lives on. Even Kulsveen, the owner of KBD, is Willett's son-in-law.

About Bourbon

Tasting Notes

On the nose, you will be met with corn sweetness, followed by dark brown sugar, root beer float, chocolate, cherry syrup, orange peel, and oak. On the palate, it is very hot and spicy with lots of cinnamon, wood char, syrup, black cherries, vanilla, black pepper, and burnt sugar. The finish starts off with oak and smoke and will be better defined by a splash of water. A superb Bourbon.
