Selected for the prestigious Itinéraires collection, this 12-year-old Willett Rye, distilled in 2012 and bottled from a single barrel (114 numbered bottles), is a rare and refined expression of rye. This high rye release is crafted from a mash bill of 74% rye, 11% corn, and 15% malted barley, delivering an exceptional aromatic and flavor profile. Brilliantly exuberant, the tasting journey evolves gracefully from exotic notes to chocolate, tar, balsamic hints, and deliciously jammy, indulgent touches. The palate is broad and velvety, perfectly balanced between spice, cereal sweetness and depth, culminating in a long, warm finish — the hallmark of Willett’s finest rye whiskies.
