The palate is graced with opulent marmalade flavors, intermingled with hints of honey, fig, and nuances of caramelized orange. In the background, a distant whisper of campfire smoke adds a layer of complexity to this exceptional expression.

it’s fantastic
Color me impressed with Willett Family Estate 4 Year Rye – it’s fantastic. It’s a very interesting, dense, and unique rye that hits all the right rye whiskey notes for me yet adds a unique twist with added lemon, fennel, caraway seed, and general darkness.

Flavours which burst on your tongue
This Malt slowly erupts on your taste buds giving you a smooth yet vibrant flavour of sweet Sherry and an after taste of Oloroso, with a hint of oak.
Its dark colour gives it a warm feel. Personally I prefer it at room temperature without either water or ice.
