The Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon is one of the most celebrated expressions from Willett Distillery in Bardstown, KY — a family-owned operation with roots going back to 1936 and one of the most devoted followings in American whiskey. Each bottle in the Family Estate series is drawn from a single, hand-selected barrel and bottled at barrel proof, making every release a distinct and unrepeatable experience.
The "Purple Top" designation refers to the iconic purple wax-dipped cap that distinguishes this expression — a collector's hallmark that signals a particularly prized selection from Willett's aging inventory. Barrel #3887, aged 7 years, represents the sweet spot of maturation for this mash bill: old enough to have developed genuine complexity, young enough to retain vibrant grain character and energy.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, dark cherry, and warm baking spice
Palate: Bold and expressive — brown sugar, cinnamon, charred wood, dried fruit, and a full barrel proof presence with excellent balance for its age
Finish: Long and warming with lingering oak, toffee, and spice
