Willett Family Estate 10 Year Single Barrel Rye “Decade Neat” #1515

Straight Rye Whiskey | 51.8% ABV (103.6 Proof) | 178 Bottles Available | 750 mL

Process & Profile

This rye is a single-barrel selection from Willett’s own estate collection, aged precisely 10 years. Drawing from a mash bill of approximately 74% rye, 11% corn, and 15% malted barley, the whiskey is bottled at barrel strength 103.6 proof—showcasing the raw character of a decade’s maturation in charred American oak. Each barrel (#1515 in this case) offers a unique tasting experience reflective of both the age and cask profile.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Refined caramel, dried orchard fruits, black pepper, leather, and toasted oak
Palate: Rich rye spice with notes of dark cherry, figs, wintergreen, spice cake, and a hint of tobacco
Finish: Dry, bold, and lingering—peppery rye warmth with oak tannins and nutmeg
