A blend of casks chosen to meet a particular mash-bill and flavour profile, Kentucky Vintage pays homage to the French method of blending cognacs, to produce a product better and more developed than the sum of its parts. 90 Proof.
The Willett Distillery, sometimes known these days as Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, was founded in 1936 on the family farm by Thompson Willett. The distillery became widely regarded for its quality and throughout the century introduced brands like Johnny Drum, Noah’s Mill, Rowan’s Creek, Kentucky Vintage and Pure Kentucky (all 1990s). After a prolonged stint as an independent bottler, full distillery production recommenced in 2012. Unusually for a US distillery, Willett utilises pot stills rather than column.
