A Willett Small-Batch Staple
Kentucky Vintage is one of Willett's long-running small-batch brands, standing alongside Noah's Mill, Rowan's Creek, and Pure Kentucky XO in the family's Small Batch Boutique Bourbon Collection. Each bottle is filled by hand and numbered individually — a deliberately small-scale operation from the Bardstown distillery. Shop more from Willett or explore our bourbon whiskey collection.
Tasting Notes
Amber with a golden cast and a medium-bodied, buttery texture. Expect whiffs of campfire scents, soft fruit, and light fragrance, with retail tasters adding oranges, lemons, clover, and honey on the nose; ginger, caramel apples, roasted nuts, and creamy vanilla on the palate; and a finish of almonds and black pepper.
How to Enjoy
A classic neat-or-one-cube bourbon — soft enough for newcomers, characterful enough for the shelf. Its buttery texture also plays well in a Manhattan.
