Willett #9495 7 Year Sourced 121.2 Proof "Scotty's Dream"

Willett Family Estate Bottled Single Barrel Bourbon #9495 'Scotty's Dream' is a 7-year-old sourced single barrel bottled by Willett Distillery at 121.2 proof (60.6% ABV) — a privately named barrel selection carrying the personal designation 'Scotty's Dream,' one of the custom-named single barrel releases that Willett produces for private customers, retailers, or events alongside their standard Family Estate bottlings.

At 7 years, Barrel #9495 represents the younger end of the Willett single barrel sourced spectrum — where the grain character is more forward, the fruit notes are brighter, and the oak is assertive but not yet dominant. The 121.2 proof reflects the barrel's natural evaporation and concentration over seven years without dilution. Named single barrel releases like 'Scotty's Dream' are typically one-of-a-kind selections — a single barrel chosen specifically for a customer or occasion, making each bottle from the run essentially irreplaceable once the barrel is empty. The Willett Family Estate label with the barrel number and proof provides the full provenance documentation that the secondary bourbon market requires.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bright grain, vanilla, caramel, and fresh oak — the younger 7-year barrel's vibrancy at full proof
• Palate: Bold and assertive — brown sugar, rye spice, charred oak, and warm baking spice at 121.2 proof
• Finish: Medium-long and warming — grain-forward with oak and spice sustained through the close
