Willett Wheated 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750 ml) is a highly coveted, premium release from the family-owned Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. First distilled in the spring of 2013 and initially released in the summer of 2022, this allocated small-batch bottle swaps the traditional high-rye spice of the distillery for a smoother, wheat-forward mash bill.
Product Specifications

Tasting Profile
- Nose: Invitingly sweet with aromas of honey, caramel sauce, vanilla, pastry dough, and a lighter, softer cinnamon footprint than traditional rye-forward Willett expressions.

- Finish: Long and warming with lingering oak tannins, toasted dark brown sugar, and a robust "Kentucky hug"
