Willett Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon 8 year 750 ml

An elegant and collectible bourbon from Willett Distillery, this 8-year-old wheated bourbon combines traditional craftsmanship with a soft, approachable profile. The high wheat content in the mashbill gives it a creamy, smooth texture while still offering depth and richness.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Sweet caramel, milk chocolate, toasted cinnamon, dried fruits, and lightly seasoned oak.

• Palate: Rich and full-bodied, featuring toffee, honey, warm baking spices like nutmeg and cinnamon, along with subtle white grape and raisin notes. The wheat provides a silky, creamy mouthfeel.

• Finish: Medium to long, with lingering oak, chocolate, gentle sweet spice, and a touch of fruitiness.

Character & Craftsmanship

• A high-wheat mashbill gives this bourbon a smoother, softer profile compared to traditional rye-forward bourbons.

• Aged for 8 years in charred oak barrels, allowing a balance of oak complexity and mellow sweetness.

• Bottled at a high proof to preserve depth and intensity while maintaining a smooth texture.

• Non-chill filtered to retain its full flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel.

Why It Stands Out

• Soft yet Powerful: The wheat delivers a creamy sweetness balanced by a bold proof.

• Well-Aged: Eight years of maturation bring rich oak and caramel flavors without overpowering the spirit.

• Complex Flavor: Layers of caramel, chocolate, fruit, and spice create a rich, nuanced experience.

• Collector Appeal: A limited-release bourbon from Willett, perfect for enthusiasts and collectors.

This wheated bourbon is ideal for sipping neat, savoring slowly, or using in premium cocktails. It offers a balanced, smooth, and memorable tasting experience that highlights Willett’s expertise and attention to detail.
