Producer Information: Willett Distillery
Willett Distillery, located in Bardstown, Kentucky, traces its roots to 1936 when Thompson Willett established the family-run operation on the site of his father’s farm, just a few miles from the heart of Bourbon Country. The distillery’s philosophy centers on small-batch and single-barrel production, with a focus on traditional pot still distillation that highlights the unique character of Kentucky’s limestone-rich water and climate. Beyond their signature bourbons and ryes, Willett crafts limited releases such as Old Bardstown Bourbon and Johnny Drum Private Stock, each reflecting a commitment to hands-on craftsmanship and local heritage that sets them apart within Kentucky’s storied whiskey landscape.

American Whiskey is a distinct category of distilled spirits primarily made from grains such as corn, rye, barley, and wheat. This spirit is characterized by its unique distillation methods—either pot still or column still—and is aged in new charred oak barrels. The aging process varies by type; for instance, straight whiskey must be aged for a minimum of two years. The flavor profiles differ significantly among styles: Bourbon offers sweet notes of caramel and vanilla with hints of spice, while Rye Whiskey presents a spicier character with peppery undertones and citrus hints.
The texture of American Whiskey can range from smooth to rich, depending on the specific style being enjoyed. Regions like Kentucky are renowned for Bourbon production, while Tennessee is known for its mellow Tennessee Whiskey that often undergoes charcoal filtering. Commonly used in classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and Manhattan, American Whiskey can also be savored neat or on the rocks. Understanding terms like mash bill and proof further enhances appreciation for this versatile spirit.
