Willett Pot Still Reserve, the tall boy 💪🏼. 94 proof, nice and neat. $99 for the large guy A bottle worthy of... someone fancier than I am probably. But it looks quite regal and robust on the shelf though! Nostrils: I get this intriguing mix of like a cherry pie 🍒 🥧 simultaneous to a chocolate cream pie. Unless someone has made a chocolate cherry cream pie and hasn’t told me it exists. Any other fruit and I would be reaching. Hell, I will throw coconut in the mix but can’t get away from the cherry / cream combination. After a few sips, I could pick out the Big Red cinnamon gum spice a touch as well. Palate buds: I wasted my initial sip because I was thinking about how smooth it was. Super easy at this proof. Initially grabbing onto more of the Big Red gum spice, but having a hard time following it after that. I think I lack the taste buds that some people get leather taste from maybe? But there’s a nice level of sweetness to it that is not like artificial syrup but more enjoyable. Maybe a layer of burnt caramel / marshmallow would characterize it best, as long as you left a nice wood chip on it for rustic character. Idk but it’s a fun drink for sure! And any water or ice would probably do it an injustice. Gonna try to find another one of these to keep - not just for the display either. Rating: 4.5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 Music: Smashing Pumpkins Vinyl
