Willett 8 Year Old Family Estate Bourbon Single Cask #13059 – 70cl

TASTING NOTES

Colour : Dark, cloudy, inviting amber.

Nose : There is a strong spiciness right off the bat, with hints of pepper, caramel, rye, alcohol, and corn. There is a slight hint of mint on the nose as well.

Palate : The tip of the tongue seems to skip a little sweetness that I was expecting , and the middle of the tongue gets a pronounced alcohol burn. There are strong flavors of coffee, caramel, oak, and mint on the back of the tongue that develop throughout. It is a stout bourbon, very alcohol-forward on the tongue.

Finish : Very long, with the alcohol burn remaining prominent, but allowing other flavors to develop the longer it lingers. Pepper remains a distinct flavor to the end.

 

ABV 62.90%
