Willett Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon

Willett Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon

Introducing Willett Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon — a remarkable new addition to the Willett legacy, blending time-honored family tradition with fresh, modern craftsmanship. This exquisite Kentucky straight bourbon represents the artful marriage of two classic Willett family mash bills, each carefully distilled, aged, and mingled to create a whiskey of exceptional balance, depth, and character.

A Legacy in Every Drop

Crafted under the watchful eye of Master Distiller and fifth-generation whiskey maker Drew Kulsveen, Willett Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon is a testament to precision and patience. Both mash bills enter the barrel at 125 proof, then mature gracefully in charred American oak before being batched and bottled at a proof selected by the master distiller himself — ensuring every release captures the perfect harmony of flavor.

The Two Mash Bills

Mash Bill 1:
• 72% Corn
• 13% Rye
• 15% Malted Barley

Mash Bill 2:
• 52% Corn
• 38% Rye
• 10% Malted Barley

This combination of high-corn sweetness and high-rye spice creates a dynamic bourbon that bridges the gap between richness and structure — silky, layered, and endlessly engaging.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warm vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar with subtle baking spice and oak char
• Palate: Sweet corn, butterscotch, and honey glide into notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and toasted rye
• Finish: Long, warming, and complex with lingering hints of oak, pepper, and toffee
