Willett has built a reputation for producing some of the most sought-after bourbons in Kentucky, and the Family Estate Small Batch lineup continues that tradition. These barrels aged a small batch bourbon crafted from a blend of two of Willett’s traditional mash bills, each entered into new American oak at 125 proof and bottled at high proof depending on the batch.
During their time in the rickhouse, the barrels absorbed layers of flavor that combine bright fruit notes with classic bourbon character. Expect hints of green apple, citrus peel, and rye spice layered over deeper tones of caramelized sugar, vanilla, and seasoned oak. The result is a balanced profile that carries both freshness and depth.
Freshly dumped and shipped directly from Willett’s program, these barrels are well suited for aging beer, cider, spirits, mead, or wine. If you’re looking to bring a little Willett pedigree into your next aging project, these barrels deliver both flavor and story.
