Wheated Bourbon Whiskey, 8 Year

• Limited release wheated bourbon produced by Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky
• Mash bill of 65% corn, 20% wheat, and 15% malted barley
• Produced with limestone-filtered, spring-fed water from a pond on the distillery estate
• Sour mash fermented in stainless steel for approximately 3–5 days using a proprietary yeast strain
• Twice distilled using an unspecified still regimen; Willett employs a column still made of copper and stainless steel and a Vendome copper pot still modeled after Willett’s original, patented pot still
• Aged 8 years in char #4 American oak barrels from Independent Stave Company’s Kentucky cooperage
• Non-chill filtered; 54% ABV

Willett’s eight-year wheated is the most recent addition to the distillery’s lineup, introduced in 2022 and conceived entirely by master distiller Drew Kulsveen. Incorporating older stocks than the Willett Pot Still Reserve and bottled at seven more percentage points of proof, this expression reveals new facets of the distillery’s wheated mash bill.
