Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon 14 Year Old #2089 125.2 Proof (Sourced)

Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon 14 Year Old Barrel #2089, 125.2 proof — a sourced Kentucky straight bourbon selected and bottled by Willett Distillery in Bardstown. One of American whiskey's most respected independent bottlers, Willett selects individual casks at peak maturation from established Kentucky distilleries and bottles at natural barrel strength without chill filtration.

At 14 years in new charred American oak, Barrel #2089 has developed substantial concentration — rich dark fruit, toasted oak, vanilla, and baking spice at full barrel strength. Each barrel is unique and bottle-numbered; the source distillery is not disclosed, standard practice for independent bottlers. The sourced designation distinguishes this from Willett's own-distilled Family Estate program.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Deep amber. Caramel, dark cherry, toasted oak, and a hint of tobacco. Palate: Rich vanilla, dried fruit, warm spice, and integrated oak tannins at full barrel strength. Finish: Long, dry, and warming with persistent oak and chocolate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Willett Family Estate sourced or own-distilled?

The Family Estate Single Barrel program includes both sourced and own-distilled expressions — this barrel is sourced, meaning it was distilled at another established Kentucky facility and selected by Willett for cask-strength bottling. The sourced designation is noted on the label. Own-distilled Willett expressions carry that designation separately; the Block Letter and numbered own-distilled barrels represent Willett's production since their 2012 return to distilling.
