Willett Family Estate Bottled 6 Year Straight Rye

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.

TPS pick 116 proof

Neat. 5 year. DEPs pick. Hint of dill and very rye forward on the nose. Layers of vanilla and apple. Pepper notes. A tad darker notes than the 4 year off memory. Thick, syrupy, coating mouth feel. A bit vicious even. Brown sugar, maple and pepper on the tongue. Wow. Blast of honey with vanilla and rye on the taste. Fabulous legs. Maple and honey sweetness left lingering in the mouth surround by the rye spices. Oh my. The nose was a let down. Very pedestrian, basic rye. The taste and legs are amazing flavor bombs. Lights up all parts of the mouth with these amazing g flavors. Floored by these flavors. Great pick DEPs.

I like it, taste different, but good!
