The Story
129.6 proof. 5 years. Single barrel #4763. Willett Family Estate Bottled Single Barrel Bourbon — Willett's own-distilled program at 5 years, bottled at natural cask strength from the Bardstown, Kentucky distillery.
At 129.6 proof, barrel #4763 is notably high-proof for a 5-year expression — a reflection of how aggressively the specific barrel's position in Willett's Bardstown rickhouse concentrated the spirit over five years of Kentucky seasonal cycling. At 5 years the grain character is more prominent than in the 7 or 11-year own-distilled ryes also in the collection, with the oak playing a supporting role to the whiskey's youthful energy at cask strength.
