Whether it's friends bonding or strangers coming together over a dram, whiskey has a unique way of uniting people. This single barrel rye is no exception. Whiskey Hunt and Barrel & Batch have joined forces to obtain a rare barrel from a brand that is not easily found in Australia. The Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Rye Whiskey is a 7 year old gem!!!
The Willett family has a rich whiskey heritage dating back to the late 1600s, producing a 'Maryland Rye' style of whiskey in Prince George County, Maryland. William Willett Jr. relocated the family to Nelson County, Kentucky in 1792, the same year the Commonwealth of Kentucky became a state. Over the years, many family members were involved in distilling until the establishment of the Willett Distillery just outside Bardstown in 1936.
Their Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Rye, an annual release from four-year-old barrels, is hand-bottled at barrel strength, showcasing flavours like brandied cherries, cinnamon, baking spices, toasted vanilla, and a touch of oak.
This exclusive release is truly exceptional. Still hand-bottled at barrel strength, it originates from a single barrel of seven-year-old rye.
