Twice this venomous viper has evaded review. She jumps out and thrashes, coils round and inculcates. A devil of a bite too! Seductive, deceptive nose of caramel creme, rosemary, bay leaf and cinnamon roll. Palatal acupuncture ensues, as you slowly succumb to the hot cinnamon oil and scotch bonnet burn of the first phase. Phase two brings cinnamon and grilled peach with brown sugar cobbles and scotch bonnet honey. And finally the nose and close converge in satin vanilla, cinnamon, cracked black pepper and ginger. .

Cask strength - a bit much for me - but an impressive Rye, especially as it tastes much more aged than its two years. Willet is a distillery on the rise, so looking forward to tasting others whiskeys from them in time.

A little spicy but pretty nice and smooth once the ice watered it down a bit.

Willett 2 year rye. Much more florally nose than other spirits. Florally tasting too. Very interesting young wood flavor. I really like it.

This is the 2 year Estate. Powerful and almost overwhelming spice and pepper. Bright and clean, somewhat phenolic, and a great first release.

Really really interesting because it's 67.6% proof but you can't feel it. Maybe a lingering burn on the back but really nice almost like Indian food heat. 22 year
