Willett Single Barrel No 9570 Straight Rye 11 Years 104 Proof Rye So Serious 750ml

The Willett Family Estate "Rye So Serious" (Barrel No. 9570) is an ultra-rare, 11-year-old Kentucky straight rye whiskey. Clocking in at 104 proof (52% ABV), this highly sought-after single-barrel release is characterized by its deep, complex flavor profile and elegant aging, bringing out rich notes of baking spice, toasted oak, and dark fruit. Nose: A beautiful and highly complex aroma featuring layers of dark cherry, orange marmalade, and roasted peach. It settles on classic Willett "barrel funk," complemented by deep notes of cinnamon, baking spices, and soft vanilla. Palate: Robust yet highly balanced, delivering a rich mouthfeel. Expect a wave of dark chocolate, toffee, leather, and toasted oak that intertwines with the rye grain. The 11 years in the barrel offer a smooth, mellow finish that expertly reins in the typical "spiciness" of younger ryes. Finish: Long, warming, and evolving, ending with a lingering hint of dark cherry and sweet baking spices.
