"Inside this quirky wine-shaped bottle, with its cartoonish font label and paradoxically serious illustration, is a reminder that bourbon — and drinking bourbon — should be fun. Should the packaging not fully impress that upon you, the cask-strength elixir inside definitely will. While it's bottled at over 57 percent ABV, ethanol and its corresponding heat never overpowers. Instead, it serves to promote enjoyable notes of tart plum jelly, Graham crackers, and brown sugar. This is the highest-proof bottling in Willett's Small Batch Boutique Bourbon Collection, and the quality lives up to the lofty reputation of its producer."
