Wow, this bottle is a monster and probably the highest proof I have had in a whiskey, clocking in at 136.2%. It took me a while to sit with it to really appreciate what it was.
Right off the bar the nose tells me that this is produced by Willett. Those nose has a lot of ethanol and it has that Willet all spice characteristic. HOT! Orange zest, cherries and oak are on the palate. Very spicy that lingers on a very long finish. Oak is very prominent on the finish too. Even for someone that enjoys high proof bourbons, this whiskey was challenging for the first few sips.
