Process & Profile

Willett Pot Still Reserve is produced at the family-owned Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. The distillery’s roots stretch back generations, and today Willett remains independently family owned and operated while producing a portfolio of distinctive Kentucky bourbons and rye whiskeys.

The bourbon uses a distinctive wheated mash bill of 65% corn, 20% wheat, and 15% malted barley. Replacing rye with wheat as the secondary grain creates a softer, rounder style, emphasizing caramel, vanilla, baked sweetness, and gentle spice rather than sharp peppery rye character. Willett lists a 115-proof barrel entry strength for Pot Still Reserve.

Pot Still Reserve is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey aged in new charred American oak. Current product information identifies it as a non-age-stated small-batch bourbon, with Willett-produced whiskey spending at least four years in barrel before release.

The bourbon is bottled at 94 proof / 47% ABV, giving it enough strength to carry its rich flavors while remaining approachable enough for neat sipping. The official Willett profile emphasizes vanilla lemon cake on the nose, followed by a palate balancing caramel, vanilla, spice, and citrus.

On the nose, expect vanilla bean, lemon cake, caramelized sugar, and sweet grain, with hints of cinnamon and baking spice. The wheat-forward recipe lends the whiskey a soft aromatic character, while oak maturation adds gentle toasted depth.

The palate is smooth and rounded, showing caramel, vanilla, citrus, baking spice, and subtle coffee and toasted oak. Wheat gives the whiskey a supple texture, while the elevated malted-barley content adds additional cereal and nutty character.

The finish is warming and balanced, with lingering vanilla, caramel, lemon zest, sweet spice, and oak. At 94 proof, the bourbon offers enough concentration to remain flavorful without becoming overly aggressive.

What makes Willett Pot Still Reserve particularly recognizable is its bottle design. Willett states that the distinctive bottle is an exact replica of the patented Willett pot still built by Vendome Copper & Brass, making it one of the most immediately identifiable silhouettes in American whiskey.

This 10 x 50ml set contains ten individual miniature bottles, totaling 500ml of Willett Pot Still Reserve. The format is particularly convenient for bourbon tastings, party favors, gift baskets, sampling events, travel-sized collections, or individual pours. Current retail listings confirm the Pot Still Reserve 10-pack configuration as ten 50ml bottles.

Enjoy it neat, over a large cube, or with a small amount of water. The 50ml format also makes each bottle naturally portioned for individual tastings and bourbon flights.
