Willett reviews

I am not overly fond of Ryes. I think in general I prefer sweetness to a dry or higher spice profile. That being said, I tried this at a bar as it was a new arrival for them, and it was an inexpensive…

I may just be scratching the surface with this company, but I’ve already fallen in love with Willett. They bottle some of the finest American whiskies I’ve ever had. Apparently they’re quite hard to find…
