The Story
115 proof. 17 years. Barrel #3623. Willett Family Estate — own-distilled Bardstown bourbon at 17-year maturity and 115 proof, a moderate-proof expression that allows 17 years of Willett own-distilled character to express cleanly without high-concentration intensity.
Barrel #3623 at 115 proof presents a different character profile from the higher-proof 17-year own-distilled expressions — the 17yr #3626 (117.4 proof) also in stock is 2.4 proof higher. Both are from the same age tier of the own-distilled program, with the proof difference reflecting natural barrel variation between two casks from the same period. At 17 years, both deliver the deep leather, dried fruit, and toasted oak that extended own-distilled Willett aging produces.
