Willett | Dezeen

A very cool bottle and an even better bourbon.

#whiskey on whiskey on whiskey, kind of crazy the amount of #bourbonwhiskey and #ryewhiskey in this picture but at the same time it’s amazing too. If you are in #lajolla stop by and take a look, there is not much that #kegandbottle does not have. #kentuckywhiskey #tennesseewhiskey #bourbon . . . . #blantons #michters #pappyvanwinkle #makersmark #fourroses #willett #elijahcraig #jimbeam #weller #blantons #highwest #bookers #wildturkey #buffalotrace #rolexwhisky #whiskeyporn #whiskeygram #whiskeylife (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMW8F__jsJA/?igshid=1xnhlmtb9f5pl

Hey guys! How's it going?🙂. . It's Friday and you know what time it is! That's right, it's time for a new review!😊. . This time we have an interesting and somewhat controversial Kentucky bourbon, it's the Willett Pot Still Reserve. I say controversial because some people say it does not live up to expectations. Now I understand that somewhat, I mean when you pop open a bottle that looks like this you expect to drink an excellent bourbon. For some people the bourbon is rather underwhelming and I have to say that I have mixed feelings about that. . Willett Pot Still Reserve was originally introduced as a single barrel beginning in 2008. Around 2015, it was quietly changed over to a small batch bourbon. While Willett Distillery resumed distillation after a lengthy hiatus starting in 2012, Willett Pot Still Reserve continues to be sourced from undisclosed distillery(ies) in Kentucky. Willett has not disclosed if, or when, their own distillate will be incorporated into Willett Pot Still Reserve. It’s at 47% ABV, NAS (anywhere between 8-10 years), Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey,  72% corn, 13% rye, 15% malted barley. .
Nose: Summer fruit,s ripe cherry and a pinch of citrus, vanilla and dry oak. A hint of buttered popcorn with a dash of sweet honey. A bit light in complexity but still intertesting. . Palate: Honey and caramel combine to form a sweet note against a light punch of spice and zesty citrus. It’s potent but it does have sort of a thin mouthfeel. . Finish: Rye spice initially, followed by a delicate sprinkling of cinnamon. Buttered popcorn pops up again, along with vanilla and caramel flavors that give it a more traditional feel. . I must admit that while this is a good bourbon it did not really knock my socks off as I hoped. . So what do you guys think about this one?🙂 Have you tried it? What did you think of it?. . Cheers guys and have a great weekend!😊 🥃✨🥃. . #kentuckybourbon #whisky #willett #willettbourbon #willettpotstillreserve #94proof #whiskey #scotch #firewaterxo #scotchwhisky #whiskyporn #whiskygram #whiskybar #bottle #drinks #usa #friday #weekend #weekendvibes #cigar #montecristocigars #cubancigar #montecristoopenmaster #botl #sotl (at Cluj-Napoca) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGsQqIjMCKx/?igshid=184wcks8jdp3d
