Johnny Drum (Willett) Private Stock Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey 700mL

The premium offering from the Johnny Drum range of handmade bourbons, produced in very small batches at Willett Distillery .. Big 'n bold it's a rich, mellow old-school sour mash bourbon crafted to a method unchanged in five generations.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is sour apple, vanilla, and oak. The palate is a snowball rolling over fruits, vanilla, and spices, mixing them all together into a well balanced and complex Whiskey.

"Vanilla and stewed apples are two characteristics you'll pick up on the nose along with slight toasted wood notes. As you taste, you get a sweetness quality that tastes of caramel. The body of the lightly spiced whiskey is almost creamy and has a lengthy finish." - Stephanie Moreno, Distiller (90 Points)

"Now distilled in-house by Willett, the change has been an overall beneficial one, once again providing a flavorful bourbon at a rock-solid price." - Eric Hasman, Breaking Bourbon

" Plenty of color, and the nose says it ain’t lying. Sharp warehouse oak aroma puts an edge on an authoritative nose of honey, Indian pudding, spicy hard candy, and old-fashioned root beer, the not-too-sugary kind. Fiery and bold on the tongue as oak roars from start to finish, but the sweetness builds sip-by-sip: cornbread, buckwheat honey, King syrup, and a teasy bit of citrus peel. Long finish as the oak dies down. At this price, let’s keep it our secret. Sourced whiskey." - Lew Bryson, Whisky Advocate (88 Points)
