Willett Straight Rye Whiskey 4 Year, produced by Willett in Kentucky, utilizes two mash bills: Willett high rye (74% rye, 11% corn and 15% malted barley) and Willett low rye (51% rye, 34% corn and 15% malted barley). The whiskey is aged for four years in new charred white oak barrels, and then blended. It is bottled at varying proofs and has a suggested retail price of $69.99.
Color me impressed with Willett Family Estate 4 Year Rye – it’s fantastic. It’s a very interesting, dense, and unique rye that hits all the right rye whiskey notes for me yet adds a unique twist with added lemon, fennel, caraway seed, and general darkness.
