Opened this to celebrate Nick’s birthday. Just as good as I remembered it tasting during our KBT trip.

Excellent drop. Nose is maple syrup with hints of spice notes. Taste maintains the maple syrup and vanilla with notes of oak and pepper

It’s very unique, but not really my jam. I do appreciate what is happening in this glass. There is a lot of cinnamon and even more nutmeg on the finish. It has a barn, hay, funk that hits you in the face at first, but the Christmas spice finish is quite enjoyable. I like it more than I hate it, but this is definitely a “try before you buy” whiskey.

5.0 stars - Spectacular; 750 ml bottle Second review, same bottle. The last glass is just the same as the first. Many months and lots air have not changed this one. This is straight up black magic. I am not sure what Willet is doing, but they better guard their secrets better than Coke guards their recipe. I am going to KY soon. Mostly for some family rest and relaxation. But on the way back we are doing the tasting tour at Willet. Hopefully some of this is in stock and we get to taste a few more family estate bottles.

Solid Rye. Very nice mouth feel, just a little oily. I get some licorice and Dill. Well balanced.
