120 proof. 17 years. Single barrel #1209. Willett Family Estate Bottled — the second 17-year own-distilled Willett in the current Wooden Cork collection, at a dramatically different proof from the Block Letter Brown Wax #54 (137.6 proof).
Barrel #1209 at 120 proof and Barrel #54 at 137.6 proof are both 17-year own-distilled Willett expressions — but the 17.6-proof gap between them is extraordinary for the same age tier, illustrating how dramatically different individual barrel trajectories can be in the same Bardstown rickhouse over the same 17-year period. The Block Letter Brown Wax #54 at 137.6 is the premium tier with special label designation; #1209 at 120 proof offers the 17-year Willett maturity at a more approachable concentration without the Block Letter or Brown Wax premium markers.
