Willett Whiskey

Willett is the name hiding behind more well-known bourbons than most people realise. The family has distilled, aged and bottled for others, while their own name has quietly become one of the most sought-after among bourbon collectors. The iconic pot-still-shaped bottle is today just as recognisable as the whiskey itself.

About Willett Whiskey

Willett Distillery, formally known as Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, was established in 1935 in Bardstown and is a family-owned and family-run company that both produces its own brands and distils, ages and bottles whiskey for other companies. Most of Willett's own releases are aged between 6 and 17 years and include names like Noah's Mill and Old Bardstown, while the iconic pot-still-shaped bottle has become one of the most recognisable symbols in modern bourbon collecting. Collectors count Willett's rare single barrel releases among the most sought-after in the American whiskey market, while newcomers gain access to one of Kentucky's most respected family names.

History & Background

The Willett family founded the distillery in 1935 in Bardstown, shortly after the end of Prohibition, and has since run the business across several generations without ever giving up family ownership, a rarity in an industry marked by acquisitions. For many years Willett primarily served as a supplier to other whiskey companies wanting distillation, aging or bottling without owning production facilities themselves, giving the family a unique insight into the industry's full breadth of styles. This background as whiskey's "invisible hand" has since proven to be a strength, as Willett's own brands in recent years have become some of the most sought-after among collectors who value the family's deep craft experience.

History & Background

The Willett family's roots in the Kentucky whiskey business date back to the 1930s. After a period without their own distillation, the family resumed production at their own distillery in Bardstown, and the brand has since achieved cult status among bourbon enthusiasts for its rare, often sold-out single barrel releases.

Production & Style

Willett distills and ages its own whiskey at the Bardstown distillery and frequently releases single-cask bottlings at high strength, giving each bottle its own unique character.

Signature Style

Powerful, Caramel, Complex
The flavor offers a rich, caramel-driven bourbon character with deep complexity that varies from cask to cask.
