Willett 12yr Rye has a complex and layered profile, with tasting notes that include a spicy, aromatic nose of charred oak, vanilla, and caramel. The palate is rich and oily, featuring notes of cinnamon, black pepper, leather, and molasses, balanced by hints of dark chocolate, fruit, and tobacco. The finish is exceptionally long, warm, and drying, with notes of oak, spice, and a lingering tobacco or dark chocolate essence.
