Product Details

Pure Kentucky XO Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an authentic Kentucky straight bourbon. Aged for about twelve years ("XO" meaning "extra old"), Pure Kentucky is bottled at an unusually robust proof of 107 yet is remarkably smooth and drinkable. Made with all natural ingredients and pure limestone water, it is a true masterpiece among Kentucky's finest Bourbons. This bourbon is hand-bottled, extra old, in very limited quantities, one small batch at a time.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Toffee, fruit, and eucalyptus. Bold and aromatic. An interesting mixture of fruity and spicy. Oak and toffee on the tail end. 

Palate: Following the nose, we have a spiced palate. Oily coating that has cinnamon, vanilla, and clove. Traditional oak and woody vanilla. Cinnamon, toffee, caramel, pepper, oak, and spices.

Finish: Oily and lingering. Vanilla is the dominant note here, baking spice that warms with the fading of the 107 Proof sip.

About the Producer

Family lore has it that the family got their start in the distilling arts within Cognac in the 1600s before relocating to Maryland in the 1700s to distill Rye, and finally settling in Nelson County, Kentucky. There they seemed to have had a hand in the creation and fame of most of the distilleries of the county, past and present. In 1935, the family decided to convert the family farm to a distillery that they could call their very own, and thus The Willett Distilling Company was born.

Once on the distillery grounds, one begins to understand just how unique the distillery and its surroundings are. Great efforts went to restore the main distillery building, cistern room, and aging warehouses. As a result, these restorations of the grounds have the left the property totally transformed. We have even more exciting developments in the works. From underground, spring-fed lakes, to the Kentucky split-face limestone exterior, it truly makes for a memorable trip.
