Willett Pot Still Reserve Bourbon

Very floral nose and very smooth on the taste for it's strength. Drop of water really opens it up, marzipan, cherry, almond. Reminded me a little of Green Spot after the water but with more bite as you'd expect which is strange but in a good way. I think it's that lingering marzipan/almond that blooms after the water. The finish is really long and lingers with hints of tobacco and leather. Price was right for a classic bourbon and I've definitely paid more for less quality. Update: Started to get an earthy/vegetal note that was a little off-putting. A few drops of water still help. It's become a strange bottle because I seem to get a different experience each time.

Horrible. Drain pour.

Smooth, late heat, Carmel

Not much on the nose, orange blossom and almonds. Viscous with cherry and orange notes, vanilla, honey and baking spices on the palate. Finish is medium length, starts bitter and ends sweet.
