Taste
Willett Wheated Kentucky Straight 8 Year Bourbon delivers a luxurious and full-bodied experience that embodies the craftsmanship of the Willett Distillery. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of caramel, honey, and toasted oak layered with subtle hints of vanilla and warm spice. The palate reveals a rich sweetness of toffee and brown sugar balanced by gentle notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and dried fruit. The wheated mash bill imparts a soft, creamy texture that enhances its smoothness while maintaining remarkable depth. The finish is long, warm, and elegant, leaving behind traces of oak, cocoa, and a lingering sweetness that invites another sip. Each pour is both comforting and complex, perfectly showcasing the harmony between age, proof, and careful cask selection.

History
The Willett Wheated 8 Year Bourbon marks a celebrated return to a softer, wheat-based mash bill from one of Kentucky’s most respected family-owned distilleries. Distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2022 at the Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, this small-batch release highlights Willett’s continued dedication to traditional methods and uncompromising quality. Crafted from a mash bill of approximately 65% corn, 20% wheat, and 15% malted barley, the bourbon was aged in charred American oak barrels for eight years and bottled without chill filtration to preserve its natural character. As part of Willett’s growing lineup of estate-distilled expressions, the Wheated 8 Year stands as a milestone in the brand’s ongoing legacy honoring the heritage of Kentucky bourbon-making while offering a unique and refined take on the wheated style that bourbon enthusiasts treasure.
