Willett Distillery, 4 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey

Spirit from United States
by Willett Distillery
$67.99
Taxes and shipping calculated at checkout.

Willett Distillery's 4 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey represents Kentucky craft distilling tradition applied to the rye category—a deliberate choice. The Willett family—with distilling history stretching to the 1930s—approaches rye with seriousness and commitment. At 4 years, this expression balances rye spice against oak integration—old enough for barrel character, young enough for vibrant fruit. The straight rye designation ensures minimum 2-year aging and 51% rye grain bill. This is rye whiskey for those seeking Kentucky craft character.

More about Willett Distillery

Willett is one of the great family names of Bardstown, and a rare independent Kentucky distillery whose whiskey is chased as hard as anything from the giants.

Thompson Willett and his father, Lambert, founded the distillery on the family farm in 1936. In 1984 his daughter Martha and her husband, Even Kulsveen, took over; distilling had already stopped, and the business, renamed Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, bottled whiskey bought from other Kentucky distilleries. The stills ran again in 2012, the Willett name returned, and their children, Drew and Britt Kulsveen, now run the place.

Willett distills its own bourbon and rye from six mash bills, on a column still and a copper pot still modeled on Thompson Willett's original. Expect big, spicy, characterful whiskey, often at high proof. A few drops of water help it open up.
