Product Description
This is classic Willett single barrel at full intensity—high proof, limited yield, and completely unique. The “Time Bomb” cask lives up to its name with explosive flavor, dense structure, and serious depth. A collector-driven, enthusiast-grade bourbon that delivers power without losing complexity.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced at Willett Distillery in Kentucky, the Family Estate series represents some of the most sought-after single barrel, cask strength bourbons on the market.
Each bottle is drawn from one individual barrel, with no blending—meaning every release is entirely unique. Barrel #1693, nicknamed “Time Bomb,” reflects Willett’s tradition of naming barrels to highlight their personality and intensity.
Key details:
- Age: 6 years
- Barrel: #1693 (“Time Bomb”)
- Proof: 126.3 (cask strength)
- Yield: Typically ~180–220 bottles per barrel
The whiskey is aged in new charred American oak, developing concentrated flavor while retaining structure at a relatively young age due to its high proof and active barrel influence.
Willett’s approach emphasizes individual barrel character over consistency, making each release a one-off experience for collectors and enthusiasts.
