2025 Willett Family Estate 14yr (Sourced #1222 | 113.8°) "Chasing Perfection From the Vault"

Nov 11, 2025by Wooden Cork

Tasting review of our new Willett 14 Year Bourbon Barrel Selection

Nose: A lightly sweet nose with a hint of fruit with a backdrop of an herb that I can’t quite pinpoint.  A slight nuttiness permeates the backdrop and a bit of spiciness that tinges the nostril.   

Palate: The front offers a sweetness intertwined with light floral, nutty characteristic reminiscent of a gentle breeze, pleasant to the senses.  Upon swishing, the subtle heat takes over and numbs the jaw.  Effortlessly gentle and sweet to the palate with a bit of nuttiness in the background.  The palates offer simplicity with a per-fumy nuance. 

Verdict:  An easy pour that one can be surprised – before you know it, you are on the third or fourth pour.
