Willett Wheated 8 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL
Willett Wheated 8 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 8 Years | Wheated Mash Bill | 54% ABV | 108 Proof | 750mL
Process & Profile
Willett’s 8 Year Wheated Bourbon uses a mash bill of 65% corn, 20% wheat, and 15% barley. The producer identifies a 115-proof barrel entry, char No. 4 American oak, and a non-chill filtered presentation. Barrel-entry proof is separate from this bottle’s 108-proof bottling strength.
The eight-year age statement and wheated recipe define this expression. Caramel, vanilla, oak, and a touch of spice shape its profile, while the black bottle and purple foil distinguish it from Willett’s clear-glass Family Estate single-barrel releases.
