Product details
The barrels that go into this small batch release combine to make an amazing drinker. Beautiful layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry on the nose. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your dessert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak. A robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, spices for days, and a weighty mouthfeel. The finish is long and the spices dominate, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface.
Proof varies by batch. Please inquire for current batch proof.
- Best Rye I Have Had - tastes amazing with baking spices and sweetness
- Very drinkable rye. Drinks like a ten year rye but in fact a four year.
- Always drinks like something with a much lower proof.

Good rye profile very indicative of willett a little higher proof than the Last bottling but just as enjoyable!
Very balance rye! Great for sipping
Great spirit at a great price
Very smooth. At 108 proof there is no heat and very smooth. It tends to be on the sweet side. There was a lot of cherry up front. If you prefer a traditional rye this may not be the one for you. But if you are looking for a nice pour I would recommend it
Nose: green apple/sweetness. I have no clue why but this is not what I got when I first tried it. Some grass.... on the sweet side
Palate: a really pleasant grassy note starts it off and it lingers, along with some spice.. The grass is nice but its like it has this added sweetness to it, which is nice. I would say this is decently wet for a whiskey and it doesn't leave you immediately. Some oak does appear later but it's not over oaked. As it sits and I sip it, the starting notes/transition are not always the same order, which I find rather unique about it.
Finish: wet, lingers some what, definitely not thin by any means. Coats the mouth some.
This is only 4 years but it tastes amazing. I had this at a restaurant and had to buy a bottle.
I get baking spices, some sweetness and overall reminds me of fall. Definitely stock up and will always have on hand.
willet has done it yet again. very drinkable rye. drinks like a ten year rye but in fact a four year. drinks like bourbon but has the sharpest of the expected ryes. It is a daily sipper and one to stock on the shelf, and simple and a looker of a bottle.
This is the 3rd Willett bottle I've tried (Rowan's Creek Noah's Mill being the others) and by far my favorite. It has that defining Willett spice but its more back burnered and refined in this bottle vs the other two. Its got the full range of speculoos spice flavors on the tongue with a soft honey finish and is without question my favorite rye to date
I honestly love to enjoy it with a drop of water neat
Got this even delivered on time to a hotel.
Perfect quality, nothing to complain, would always buy again
Very soft and smooth bourbon.
There is no way around willet. Will need to stock so more into my whisky cabinet
Willet distillery simply produces amazing whiskeys.
Even at cask strength, always drinks like something with a much lower proof. Had never been a fan of ryes until I tried this.
We have been looking to snag one of these for awhile. It has been hard to find until now just secured a bottle. Bitters and bottles comes through again!
Im not a great fan of rye but i still enjoy them but not as much compared to other bourbon in the same price range.
Really great rye!
If you like ryes and you like old forester bourbons, you're going to love the spice and cherry notes with this Willett 4yr rye
just a drop of bitters and yum
This is a great rye whiskey so many beautiful flavors from nose to the finish. I also blended a bit with some pure Kentucky and wasn’t disappointed
