Willett Pot Still Reserve, Bourbon 175cl
Founded in Kentucky in 1936, the Willett Distilling Company has remained under family ownership and operation at the same site since its beginning. Their craft bourbons are some of the most rated and sought-after on the market. First introduce in 2008, the Pot Still Reserve is bottled in a decorative decanter, shaped like a pot still. Though at one time it was sourced from an undisclosed distillery, rumored to be Heaven Hill, it is now thought to be made with Willett’s own wheated mash bill.
