Willett Family Estate 4 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Purple Top)

Single Barrel • Kentucky Straight Bourbon • Aged 4 Years • Bottled at Barrel Strength (proof varies by barrel • Non-chill filtered • Distilled, aged, and bottled by Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky.

The Willett Family Estate 4 Year Purple Top has become one of the most sought-after young bourbons in Kentucky not because of novelty, but because Willett’s distillate shines even at an early age. Every barrel selected for Purple Top single-barrel release is chosen for intensity, character, and that unmistakable Willett house style: floral grain, peppery spice, layered sweetness, and a bold, expressive finish.

 This is boutique bourbon at its finest crafted in small batches, aged with intention, and bottled at full, unapologetic barrel proof.

Tasting Notes

•  Nose
• Fresh caramel, honeycomb, citrus peel, cinnamon, clove, warm vanilla, sweet cornbread, and a hint of floral mint. Young but incredibly expressive.
• Palate
  Vibrant and full-bodied. Notes of caramelized sugar, toasted oak, orange zest, baking spice, crème brûlée, and Willett’s signature herbal rye character. Mid-palate shows melted toffee, pepper spice, and bursts of stone fruit.
• Finish
  Long, warm, and powerfully spiced—lingering oak char, caramel drizzle, cocoa powder, and mint-leaf brightness. A finish that evolves sip after sip.
