Willett Family Estate Bottled 6 Year Straight Rye

Actually drinking Trouble private selection barrel. Deliciously spiced. Packs a punch but in the best way. Fav.

Cask #2251 Nose- Maple syrup, caramel, vanilla, spiced caramel, black pepper, cinnamon Palate- Buttered pancakes smothered in maple syrup, caramel, vanilla toffee, rye spice Finish- Long, buttery, mouth coating finish notes of Maple syrup, black pepper, and caramel This is fantastic. Everything you could want from a rye. Buttery pancakes with maple syrup from the nose to finish. My only complaint is that the maple syrup can overpower some of the other delicious flavors. I need to track down a single barrel willett.

Not sure which batch or proof this was at Radiator. Was off the shelf, not on the menu, at $28/Pour. Nose was spice and vanilla heavy. Palate was full and spice forward but rounded and deep in flavor. Finish was long. Had to be Willett stock. Flavor was extremely similar to my 4 year at home, just a bit deeper/richer.

Tasted 12/17/19 I'm a little bit confused about the description saying it's MGP whiskey because what i had is definitely Willet's own distillate. Compared to the 4 year, the 6 is more refined and does not taste as the younger brother. It would be nice to see more older batches from them.
