If this two-year rye is indicative of things to come in the future, get ready for the media myth-making maelstrom to catapult the Willett brand into the stratosphere.
As we wait in anticipation of future releases, those of us who get the chance to experience this two year version may be even more enthusiastic about what is yet to come. I certainly am.

House Review
Nose:
Vanilla and rye spice. Some nougat and clove.
Taste:
Spicy with a mild note of plastic. Vanilla and clove sweeps in with some odd vegetable notes. Cinnamon and molasses on the way out. Pretty green but its only 2 years old.
Finish:
Short but not too hot for the proof. Its complex while its here and I am pretty surprised - its a generally acceptable quality finish for something so young.
Overall:
This is the youngest Willet Ive had and Im impressed with what they are doing with their own distillate. I will be very much looking forward to see how age treats this distillate.
