Willett Family Estate Bottled 3 Year Straight Rye

Blind tasting sample from Aaron Stark. Thank you! Nose: Sherry and tawny port. Overripe plums and figs. Palate: Same overripe stewed fruit. Salt and minerality. Chlorides, calcium, and light sulphur. Oily slick texture but medium-light body. Estery and alcoholic but clean, not fusel, hot, or solventy. Finish: more fermented character. Fruit skins, coriander seed. Vegetable oil. Perfume spice, lavender and mace. Overall, I enjoyed how unique and harmonious the fermented fruit character was even if there wasn't a ton of complexity. The flavors were deep and they worked with the texture and body almost masterfully.
