Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon 14 Year Old #2089 125.2 Proof (Sourced)

Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon Barrel #2089 is a 14-year-old sourced Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 125.2 proof — uncut and unfiltered at barrel strength by Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. One of American whiskey’s most respected independent bottlers, Willett selects individual casks at peak maturation for this program.

At 14 years in new charred American oak, this barrel has developed substantial concentration: rich dark fruit, toasted oak, vanilla, and baking spice with the full, warming intensity of natural barrel strength. Each barrel is unique and bottle-numbered — the source distillery is not disclosed, standard practice for independent bottlers.

Tasting Notes

Deep amber. The nose opens with caramel, dark cherry, toasted oak, and a hint of tobacco. The palate delivers rich vanilla, dried fruit, warm spice, and integrated oak tannins at full barrel strength. The finish is long, dry, and warming with persistent oak and chocolate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Willett Family Estate sourced or distilled at Willett?

The Family Estate Single Barrel program sources aged straight bourbon from established Kentucky distilleries. Source not publicly disclosed — standard practice for independent bottlers. The value is expert barrel selection and cask-strength bottling without filtration.

What does 125.2 proof barrel strength mean?

The bourbon is bottled exactly as it came from the barrel with no water added. At 125.2 proof (62.6% ABV), the full concentration of 14 years of aging is preserved. Adding a few drops of water or a single ice cube will open up the aromatics significantly for those who prefer a lower intensity experience.
