Willett Blend of Straight Whiskies

When I first saw this was coming I knew I had to get a bottle. A blend of 6 year Willett bourbon and 10 year MGP rye sounded interesting no matter what and I’ve always been a fan of High West’s bourye so I felt like this would be right up my alley.

 

Willett Blend of Straight Whiskies

Age: A blend of 6 and 10 year

Proof: 104

Neat

Notes: Very well balanced between sweet, herbal and spicy with dark fruit, herbal liqueur and rye spice notes. Long, warm and sweet finish with more fruit and spice.

3 Stars - Excellent whiskey: I would be willing to hunt down a bottle

Conclusion

Overall I am a big fan and glad I grabbed a backup. I’d love to see them do a take on this with all their own distillate. As far as comparable offerings go I definitely put this above High West Bourye and I can’t wait to see how it stacks up against this year’s Wild Turkey Master’s Keep.

TL;DR: My favorite bourbon rye blend so far.
