Maker: In 1936, Thompson Willett founded Willett Distillery, a name that has become synonymous with exceptional Kentucky whiskey. Built near the family farm purchased by his father, Lambert Willett, the distillery produced its first batch of Kentucky bourbon in 1937 on St. Patrick’s Day, marking the beginning of a storied legacy. This inaugural production yielded 30 barrels of whiskey, which were stored in hillside rickhouses, designed to harness Kentucky’s cool breeze to aid in ageing. Today, the Willett family, now in its fourth generation, continues Thompson’s vision of making small-batch Kentucky bourbon and rye at the same historic site. The Philosophy: The Willett family’s journey in whiskey-making spans generations, each driven by a respect for quality and tradition. Thompson Willett’s meticulous approach, inspired by his father and grandfather, emphasised the use of premium ingredients, precision in every detail, and the patience to let each batch develop its character over time. This timeless commitment has made Willett Distillery one of Kentucky’s most revered bourbon producers, delivering a legacy of authenticity and craftsmanship in every bottle. Nose Floral, Fruity, Toffee Remarkably mellow given the high ABV, with aromas of floral notes, baked apple, toffee, and a gentle hint of cinnamon. Palate Cinnamon, Poached Fruits, Baking Spices A rich blend of Calvados-like fruity notes and cinnamon with layers of baking spices, creating a deep, complex flavour profile. Finish Dark Chocolate, Vanilla, Sweet Brown Spices Smooth yet intense, closing with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and brown spices. Dangerously easy to drink.
