Description

Willett Family Cask Strength 2 Year Old Rye Whiskey

Fresh rye bread right out of the oven. Half sour pickles. This is an undeniably rye-like nose of cracking spice with gobs of cardamon and black pepper. A couple of drops of water can reveal the caramel and vanilla underneath. Rather sexy feeling nose.

A sweet and smooth entry with plenty of spice and wood for balance but surprisingly well integrated. The spice from the nose is here but its baked down into something altogether more appealing. Rye toast with honey and a thin glaze of marmalade. A bitter orange aperitifand minty tea. Oak flavored honey drops.

Long and juicy with dried Fall fruits, orange and persimmon. Then minty alderwood, clove, and oak. Here the nice mix of power from the nose and the sweetness from the palate meet up to duel it out to infinity.
