Willett Pot Still Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers 5YO White Oak 47% 750ml CARAFE. Handcrafted Kentucky Straight Bourbon using time-honoured methods in the art of distillation and using only limestone spring water, carefully selected grains and secret strains of yeast. Aged in new white oak casks until fully mature and then bottled by hand in a beautiful pot still shaped bottle that is hand-numbered. The nose is " vanilla lemon cake". The palate is a balance of caramel, vanilla, spices, and citrus. I'm not sure if they made the opulent bottle to match the Whiskey or vice versa. - Tasting notes courtesy of Bill Thomas, Jack Rose Dining Saloon Rated 95.5/100 in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2017   Explore more of the Willett range HERE

The barrels that went into this small batch combined to make an amazing drinker. Nose- Beautiful layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your dessert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak to remind you that this is high proof youthful. Palette- A robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, and spices for days. It's a delicious rye with a weighty mouthfeel. Balance - It's insanely well balanced with the alcohol so perfectly integrated at 115 proof you'll forget its there, but you'll find yourself smiling more and happier with each dram. Finish- the finish is long and the spices dominate this batch, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface. Shop more Willett HERE

"It takes sweet water from tough rock to make great whiskey." Widow Jane 10 years old is a blend of whiskeys from Kentucky, Tennesse and Indiana, assembled in Brooklyn using water from the "Widow Jane Limestone Mine" in Rosendale, New York, which is even richer in minerals than the pure waters of Kentucky. Bottled at 45.5%, it does make a beautiful Bourbon! Tasting note from the Ultimate Beverage Challenge 1998. 93 points. NOSE: reminiscent of maple kissed breakfast pancakes with a side of bacon. PALATE: presents and astoundingly smooth profile, where rich flavors of plantains in browned butter, cocoa nibs, and orange marmalade sing in harmony. A warm, pleasing finish begs another sip.

"One of those Bourbons where a single glass is never quite enough. Great stuff!" Jim Murray. 95 points. Johnny Drum Private Stock Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the premium offering from the Johnny Drum range. Bottled at 101 proof, this big bold bourbon is a terrific rich, mellow old-school sour mash bourbon produced in very limited quantities to a method unchanged in five generations of quality distilling. At cask strength , this is the flagship from the Johnny Drum range of handmade bourbons, produced in small batches at Willett Distillery. NAS but approximatively 8 years old. EYE: copper gold colour with a gold hue. NOSE: a touch of shellac at first, then toffee apple, mixed nuts and an enticing array of spices including clove and vanilla. PALATE: the attack yields concentrated flavours of dried fruits, caramel, sweet spices and sandalwood. The mouthfeel is creamy and mildly prickly at the same time, however the whisky maintains excellent balance at this strength. Finishes soft and dry with an aftertaste of vanillan oak, creme caramel and a subtle liquorice strap fade. A big, complex Bourbon experience. 50.5% Alc./Vol.
