To be transparent, this is an old bottle that was just bottled by Willett and not their own distillate which I believe they began releasing earlier this year in the same bottles, with 'distilled by' rather than 'bottled by'. NAS straight KY bourbon, guessing around ~5-6 years from color and price. Really unremarkable nose, nothing coming off super strong besides the basic notes (char, little sweetness, and cinnamon). Palate makes it clear it is high rye, strong but tasty cinnamon red hots. Distinct taste of walnuts as well, which is certainly a unique note to me. Lots of 'deep' flavors, not a lot of sweet vanilla or sugars showing. Char and a little bitter oak to finish with a tad more spice. It gets 3.5 because it is a unique flavor profile, and I appreciate that it is different. It doesn't get 3.75 because of the price. For almost $45, you can get many much better bottles. I'll probably try the new version which is their own distillate, but won't keep this bottle stocked in the home bar and don't necessarily recommend you buy it either.
