Willett Pot Still Reserve is a small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon made by the historic Willett Distillery in Bardstown. Distilled from a high-rye mash bill and aged in new American oak barrels, it’s known not just for its stunning pot still-shaped bottle, but also for its complex, character-driven profile. Bottled at 47% ABV, this is a robust yet refined bourbon with true small-batch heritage.
Aroma Warm notes of vanilla, cinnamon, toasted oak, and butterscotch. Hints of dried fruit, caramelised sugar, and sweet grain lift from the glass.
Palate Rich and layered with flavours of baking spice, honeyed corn, dark toffee, and a touch of rye spice. The mouthfeel is smooth and rounded, leading into a lingering, oaky finish with subtle pepper and maple.
Serving Suggestions Sip neat to appreciate its complexity or serve with a splash of water. Ideal in a premium Old Fashioned or as a standout sipping bourbon.
Cellaring Best enjoyed within 1–2 years of opening. Store upright in a cool, dark space to preserve its full flavour profile.
Interesting Fact The signature pot still bottle design is modelled after an original copper pot still used at the Willett Distillery in the 1800s, making it a collector’s favourite as well as a connoisseur’s choice.
