Willett Pot Still Reserve Straight Bourbon 750ml

Willet Pot Still Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Flavour Notes:

Nose: Lemon upfront quickly followed by a strong yeast essence common in Willett bourbons. The two seem to pair together to create a mellow orange note. Faintly floral amidst a cream of corn backbone. Eventually get a light approximation of nut cookies, along with mild clove and perhaps star anise. Becomes more enjoyable the more you nose it, but still has a young personality.

Palate: Light with sweet corn mash flavors. Brings a bit of orange and vanilla with a touch of honey on the back. Pepper spice kicks in shortly after sipping, culminating with some effervescence.

Finish: Rather lengthy. Mild pepper offsets a faint, lingering sweetness amidst the residual effervescence. Like the nose, the mash shines way more than the oak here. Vague impressions of vanilla and sweet nuttiness. A bit drying as it sits.
