Willett Bourbon
Soft and elegant on the nose and palate, and very well balanced. An incredibly drinkable whiskey. There’s no age statement on the bottle, but it was bottled at just the right time, based on its great balance of flavors. Notes of vanilla, coconut, and crème brulee, provide a base for emerging notes of cedar wood shavings, cinnamon, soft mint and a hint of fennel. A very graceful bourbon.
Advanced Malt Advocate Magazine rating: 90
Rowan's Creek
Bottled at just around 100 proof, this whiskey ages for 12 years in charred oak barrels, and on the nose you immediately get this rich charred smoke with lots of spice, and balanced vanilla and caramel. The nose has some sweetness to it, but it’s not overpowering and the subtle floral and fruit notes round out a bold and complex aroma.
On the palate, Rowan’s Creek is smooth up front, velvety with honey, caramel, vanilla and oak, and in the back, a burst of power with fragrant spices, black pepper and charred wood, along with a dramatic finish that goes on and on. 91 Points DrinkInsider
