Process & Profile
Willett Family Estate 4 Year Small Batch Cask Strength Bourbon (2026 Blend) is a high-proof, barrel-strength small batch bourbon built around a four-year age statement and bottled at full intensity. This 2026 blend comes in at a massive 128.6 proof, delivering a thick mouthfeel, concentrated sweetness, and a long, powerful finish that barrel-strength fans chase.
Even at this proof, it keeps a classic bourbon core—dark caramel and vanilla—then pushes deeper into toasted oak, dark sugar, and warming spice as it opens. As a small batch cask strength release, there can be subtle blend-to-blend variation, but this 2026 bottling is built to deliver maximum flavor and structure for slow sipping.

How to Enjoy
Start neat if you enjoy full barrel-strength intensity, then add a few drops of water to lift vanilla and caramel and soften the heat. A single large cube gives a slower evolution and pulls forward more sweetness over time. For cocktails, this makes an extreme Old Fashioned—use minimal sweetener so the bourbon stays in control.
