Willett Family Estate Small Batch Straight Rye Whiskey Review

Bottled at cask strength (which varies by batch) after a minimum of 4 years in barrel, Willett’s straight rye whiskey combines a blend of two mash bills: 74 percent rye, 11 percent corn, and 15 percent malted barley (90 percent of the blend); and 51 percent rye, 34 percent corn, and 10 percent malted barley (10 percent of the blend). Vanilla- and caramel-heavy on the nose, rye announces itself on the palate in the form of chocolate mints, which give way to a cherried, barrel-spiced finish. This is a great sipper that drinks above its age and below its proof.
