Willet Pot Still Cask Strength Bourbon

The Willett Pot Still Reserve bottle is one of the most recognizable in bourbon — an exact glass replica of the patented Willett pot still built by Vendome Copper and Brass, on the shelf since 2008 — and this is the first time the whiskey inside has been offered at full strength. Released only twice a year, on the Spring and Fall Equinox, Pot Still Reserve Cask Strength takes Willett's wheated mash bill of 65% corn, 20% wheat, and 15% malted barley and bottles it uncut, with proof varying by batch. Two details matter here. First, the standard Pot Still Reserve has been 100% Willett-distilled since 2024, on the pot still the bottle depicts, after years of sourced stock. Second, the barrel entry proof is a deliberately low 115 — well under the legal maximum — which pulls more sugar and less harsh tannin from the wood, and means the cask strength arrives fuller without the heat that entry-proof-125 bourbons carry. Expect the softness wheat brings, amplified: caramel, honey, vanilla, and toasted grain over cherry and citrus, with oak, cinnamon, and a hint of fresh mint on a long, warming finish. Willett's small batches are genuinely small, typically around a dozen barrels. Built for a serious julep in spring or a slow neat pour by the fire in fall.
