“Honey, eucalyptus, and orange peel lead on the nose, followed by toffee and oak spice. The palate snaps with Red Hots candy, balancing chicory, roasted peanuts, and a dry citrus finish. Earthy and spicy, this barrel shows the complexity and backbone typical of Willett’s oak-driven 12-year bourbons.”
