Willett 8yr Wheated Bourbon typically presents an aroma of caramel, vanilla, and baking spices, with a palate featuring rich butterscotch, toffee, and dried fruits like raisins and raspberries, balanced by creamy sweetness and subtle oak and cinnamon spice, leading to a smooth, lingering finish of oak, sweet spice, and chocolate. The wheated mash bill contributes a plush, sweet, and smooth mouthfeel, differentiating it from rye-heavy bourbons and providing a complex depth of dessert-like notes.
