Willett Speakeasy Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Product Description

Willett Speakeasy Straight Bourbon Whiskey: A 98-Proof Small-Batch Kentucky Release

Willett Speakeasy Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon distilled, aged and bottled by Willett Distillery. Its presentation draws on the concealed bars and discreet gatherings of the Prohibition era, when patrons were expected to “speak easy” about hidden drinking establishments.

The available producer technical material identifies this as a Willett small-batch bourbon, while retailer information lists a 750ml bottle at 49% ABV, or 98 proof. Willett has not made an age statement or mash bill prominent in the cited material, so those details are not inferred here.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Light fruit, caramel, vanilla and restrained oak.

Palate: Apple-led fruit, rounded sweetness and warming bourbon spice with an oily texture.

Finish: Oak and fruit linger with moderate proof warmth.

Food Pairings

Pair Willett Speakeasy with roast pork, grilled burgers, aged cheddar, apple tart or toasted nuts. Savory foods balance the bourbon's sweetness, while apple and caramel desserts echo the fruit and vanilla character found in independent tasting notes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat first, then add a few drops of water or one large cube. At 98 proof it also has enough structure for an Old Fashioned, Manhattan or Whiskey Sour without disappearing behind the other ingredients.
