Willett '8 Year Old' Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted in the heart of Kentucky, a region known for its bourbon heritage. Distilled from a proprietary blend of corn, wheat, and malted barley, this expression leans on wheat to provide a touch of sweetness while the barley adds a layer of depth. This carefully selected mix of all-natural ingredients is aged in new charred American oak barrels, creating a classic Kentucky Straight Bourbon that reflects the richness of its origin.

Upon tasting, this bourbon unveils layers of caramel, toasted oak, and gentle spice, amplified by its 108-proof strength. The aging process—eight years in new barrels and a final finishing phase in oak—brings forward a mature balance of sweet and oaky notes, accompanied by hints of baking spices and a smooth, wheat-driven softness. The Char #4 American Oak barrels add a touch of smoky intensity, enhancing the complexity of the flavors.

Bottled without chill-filtration to retain its robust profile, Willett Wheated Bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to release its aromatic notes fully. Its full-bodied nature and smooth finish make it an ideal sipper for those who appreciate the art of traditional Kentucky bourbon.
