The king of botanical ryes.
I love the botanical ryes. Anything that grows in a garden, I love in rye whiskey: mint, rosemary, dill, green pepper, chives, oregano, etc.
This tastes like Swedish rye bread with an herby butter spread. Rich, oily, fresh. It also has the black licorice, root beer and old library books element found in Rowan’s Creek and Noah’s Mill. I absolutely love it. This is unique to Willet and I hope it never changes.
This is in the same space as WhistlePig 10 yr, High West Rendezvous Rye and Double Rye, and 95% MGP. It is my favorite of the bunch.
I was lucky enough to buy two bottles from my local liquor store via their allocated bottle raffle. I gave one to my next door neighbor since he is a Willet super fan.

Everyone seems really on this. Im not a huge 95/5 fan but may have to make an exception with all the glowing reviews
