Maddog918 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I just bought a bottle of Willet single barrel. The lable doesn't state the age of the whiskey. Does anyone know the age of this whiskey? This is my first time trying it I hope it was worth the price.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeox Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 It all depends on where you got it. Willett is a label that KBD uses for private bottlings. There's normally a smaller label above the large front label that describes the bottling. If that's missing, I'm not sure how you can tell.

It lists the bottle number and the barrel number but no age or dates. The large lable just says it's aged in white oak until maturity.I haven't cracked it yet, I'm taking it to a tasting this weekend.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeox Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Is the proof listed on the bottle? How about any kind of wax seal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmeox Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (facepalm) When I think of Willett, I think special bottlings and not the pot still bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
