Willett Pot Still Reserve

Pot Still Reserve by Willett is a standout example of Kentucky bourbon, crafted with precision and care. Its distinctive pot still shape pays homage to traditional methods, while the liquid inside reflects the rich heritage of American whiskey-making. At 47% ABV, this bourbon delivers a robust yet smooth profile that captivates the senses with every sip. Upon nosing, expect a warm bouquet of vanilla and caramel, interwoven with subtle hints of oak and a whisper of spice. The first taste reveals a symphony of flavors — from sweet corn and toasted grain to a gentle char that lingers on the palate. As the experience unfolds, notes of honeyed toffee and a light smokiness emerge, rounding out a complex profile that is both inviting and rewarding. For those who appreciate their bourbon neat, Pot Still Reserve offers a pure expression of its character. However, a splash of water can open up the more nuanced layers of this bourbon, revealing hidden depths. Served on the rocks, it maintains its integrity while mellowing slightly, offering a refreshing twist to its bold nature. This bourbon also excels in classic whiskey cocktails; its balanced depth enhances the bitters and sweetness in an Old Fashioned and complements the vermouth in a Manhattan with equal grace. To fully appreciate its aromatic qualities, consider using a Glencairn glass for nosing and sipping. Meanwhile, a rocks glass provides the perfect vessel for enjoying it over ice or in your favorite cocktail. Pot Still Reserve by Willett offers a genuine taste of Kentucky's storied whiskey tradition, crafted for those who appreciate the intricate dance of flavors in a finely made bourbon.
