Willett Family Estate Bottled Single-Barrel 3 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey

Willett Family Estate Bottled Single-Barrel 3 Year Old Straight Rye WhiskeyWe need more Rye to drink, so this is a great edition to the market. Even a quick nosing reveals that Rye nose of grassy, herbal goodness with a sweetness that follows it. The palate is well balanced with a herbal mintiness, intertwined with a sweetness that dances on your tongue until it exits with a spiciness. This is a great utility whiskey to drink neat, make an Old Fashioned, or hold up to a rock.
