The Willett 8-Year Rye, especially at higher proofs like 123.4, offers a complex mix of sweet fruits (lemon, papaya, dark cherry), rich baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove), herbal rye notes (mint, rosemary, dried herbs, licorice), and deep oak with caramel, toffee, and chocolate, culminating in a long, warming, spicy, and sometimes citrusy finish, showcasing bold rye character balanced by sweetness and oak influence.  Bottle image does not depict exact bottle.   Barrel no. 2871, bottle 69 / 146
