Willett Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a wheated bourbon, meaning wheat is used in the mashbill in place of rye as the secondary grain. In broad terms, that style is often associated with a softer, rounder profile than more spice-led bourbons.
At 8 years old and bottled at 54.0% ABV, this is a mature, full-strength Kentucky straight bourbon. For a novice drinker, that usually means a richer, more concentrated whiskey that may show oak, sweetness, and warmth more intensely than an entry-level bottling.
