Willett 8 year Wheated Bourbon
Willett Distillery, a family-owned operation in Bardstown since 1936, released this first-ever house-distilled wheated bourbon in 2022, using their proprietary mash bill and aging it for eight years in Char‑4 American oak at 115 proof before bottling undiluted at 54 % ABV. Expect a rich, medium-bodied bourbon with a wheated backbone that leans into sweeter spice and oak rather than overt fruitiness, revealing its depth over time.
On the nose, you’ll get pastry-sugar sweetness, candied almonds, cinnamon, light grape, roasted oak, and a touch of dark chocolate. The palate delivers honeyed caramel, brown sugar, cherry or pomegranate, walnut oil, white pepper, clove, and a warm, tannic finish—an elegant, nuanced wheated bourbon that shows Willett’s craft.
