“Dual mash-bill Family Estate 4yr — high-rye + low-rye married at cask strength”
Tasting notes
- nose
- corn grain and buttered popcorn, then lemon meringue, Honey Nut Cheerios, light vanilla, and toasted cinnamon oak
- palate
- caramel corn leads; orange peel, crème brûlée, pastry, and brown sugar ride peppery heat with surprising oak for four years
- finish
- oak spice and pepper linger over sweet grain
Mash bill
A blend of several whiskeys, so no single grain split.
2026 blend of two Willett family mash bills: ~70% high-rye (52% corn, 38% rye, 10% malted barley) married with ~30% low-rye (72% corn, 13% rye, 15% malted barley). Dual-mash architecture gives peppery rye lift plus softer caramel corn — both components entered barrel at 125 proof.
