Very solid rye. Some cherry and cinnamon notes. Smooth well balanced overall. Like the bourbon of the same family, a top 5 for me in the category under $100.

Product description
Beautiful layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry on the nose. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your dessert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak. A robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, and spices for days. It's a delicious rye with a weighty mouthfeel. The finish is long and the spices dominate, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface. The Willett Distilling Company or Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, as it is also known, is a small, family-owned company that markets Bourbon and Rye Whiskey. They’re located in Bardstown, Kentucky. As a relatively large independent bottling company, they’re called the big daddy of Bourbon and Rye Bottling.
