A Decade of Own-Distilled Rye

"Decade Neat" marks the 10-year milestone in Willett's own-distilled rye program, which runs parallel to the brand's bourbon program with single-barrel expressions documenting individual barrel trajectories. At 103.6 proof, Barrel #1515 sits at a more accessible strength than many other Willett single-barrel releases, while its full decade of aging delivers real depth and maturity.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: brandied cherry, with a mildly tart cherry aroma.
