Willett Distillery has long been one of Kentucky's most revered craft distillers, and their Single Barrel Rye program is a testament to why. Barrel #1154 is a 6-year expression hand-selected from the limestone-rich rickhouses of Bardstown — a single barrel bottling that captures a precise moment in time, never to be replicated. With Willett's signature pot still distillation and years of patient aging, this rye delivers the kind of complexity and character that collectors and enthusiasts seek out.

Palate: Rich and layered — cracked black pepper, caramel, dark cherry, and baking spice with a satisfying mid-palate weight
Finish: Long and warming with lingering rye spice, oak tannins, and a dry, elegant fade
