The Story
137.0 proof. 10 years. Single barrel #3048. Willett Family Estate Bottled — the highest-proof 10-year Willett in the current collection, well above the companion 10-year Barrel #4112 (132.2) and approaching the 11-year #4297's 140.8 proof.
At 137.0 proof, barrel #3048 is exceptionally concentrated for a 10-year expression — one of the most powerful own-distilled Willett bourbons in the current catalog regardless of age tier. The Willett own-distilled vertical at Wooden Cork now spans 5 through 17 years across multiple individual barrels, with the 10-year tier represented by two barrels at notably different proof points (132.2 and 137.0) illustrating the variability of natural cask strength maturation.
