I think that I have found a true competitor to the Four Roses Single Barrel. Similar to the Four Roses in the fact that fruit is evident in the palette, the Willett is more of a citrus and floral that fades to a caramel compared to dark fruits of the Four Roses.
It truly is a delicious bourbon. Light and not too complex. There is a little bit of alcohol presence, but it is a pleasant warmth and not a burn.
Since the flavor is so delicate, I don't think that it stands up well with water or over ice. It's also far too good to be used in a mixed drink. This is a bourbon best served neat.
The only bad thing about this bourbon is that here in Ohio, it is next to impossible to find. I had to trade a bottle of Weller Antique 107 to a friend in Indiana for this bourbon. The price is reasonable, but it is a chore to obtain. I can find the Four Roses Single Barrel almost anywhere though for about the same price if not cheaper.
