With an ABV of 54.5%, this bourbon is robust yet balanced, providing a spirited kick while maintaining a smooth and inviting finish. Crafted from small batches, the bourbon encapsulates the meticulous craftsmanship that Willett Distillery is renowned for, with each bottle embodying a blend of tradition and innovation. Expect to encounter a complex tapestry of flavors typical of well-crafted bourbons. The initial nose offers a hint of charred oak, setting the stage for a palate that reveals layers of vanilla sweetness intertwined with gentle spice notes. As you savor it, subtleties of caramel and a whisper of toasted grains emerge, providing depth and character that invite further exploration. The warming finish lingers gracefully, a testament to its carefully curated age. Serving Willett 4 Year Bourbon can be as versatile as the spirit itself. Enjoy it neat to appreciate the full spectrum of its nuanced profile, where its character can unfold undisturbed. Alternatively, serving it on the rocks allows the gradual release of its aromas and flavors as the ice melts, creating a slightly mellower experience. If you prefer a splash of water, it can help open up the bouquet and soften the alcohol's intensity, highlighting the bourbon's inherent sweetness and spice. This bourbon also makes an excellent base for classic cocktails, enhancing the complexity of an Old Fashioned or adding a robust backbone to a Manhattan. For those who appreciate simple elegance, a highball can offer a refreshing take, with the bourbon's flavors shining through the effervescence. When it comes to glassware, a Glencairn glass is ideal for nosing and experiencing the full sensory profile, while a rocks glass is perfect for sipping and savoring. Whether enjoyed solo or in a carefully crafted cocktail, Willett 4 Year Bourbon promises an authentic taste of Kentucky tradition.

★★★★☆ Jason C.
Usually go for Elijah Craig but this Willett 4 feels a bit punchier and warmer. Good on a cold night, maybe not as mellow as I like.
Store response
Great call comparing to Elijah Craig. For something softer, give Four Roses Small Batch a try next time. - Dan

Shared the Willett 4 Year with my brother and his wife. Big hit after a long day, smooth sipper for sure. Would buy again for our next backyard hang.
Store response
Glad it went over well with the crew. If you want something bigger next time, check out the Rowan's Creek too. - Tom
