Some of the Willett Bourbons and Ryes have been outstanding. But they’re often very difficult to find. I spoke with Drew, my contact at Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (the bottlers of Willett) yesterday, and here’s a brief synopsis of what he told me regarding what’s available where (and contact information!):
John, we sent 96 bottles of our 25YR/90.2 Proof to CA for distribution and 360 bottles to Japan. I believe that there was a total of 8 barrels for this release. Retail is around $150-$175 in CA.
We’ve also released several more barrels for distribution here in KY selected by The Party Source, specifically:
6YR/112.2 Proof Bourbon-108 bottles
7YR/123.4 Proof Bourbon-48 bottles
12YR/114.8 Proof Bourbon-72 bottles
16YR/147 Proof Bourbon-118 bottles
17YR/97.2 Proof Bourbon-168 bottlesThese are due to hit shelves late next week. All are full barrel strength and unchill-filtered. If you interested please contact Jay Erisman (info below)
jerisman@thepartysource.comWe will be doing a 7YR for Toddy’s Liquor (in Bardstown) that will hit shelves prior to the KY Bourbon Fest.
Our distributor Ledroit Brands in Washington DC selects barrels several times a year of many different ages that are available in the DC area. Ace Beverages always has a nice selection of the Willett Family Reserve Barrel Proof Whiskies. For more information please contact Bill Thomas (Ledroit Brands) at:

For all of you Willett enthusiasts, I hope this helps.
Dear John,
As I’ve commented on in the past, I’m very impressed by the Willett products & cannot wait to taste the PartySource casks.
I REALLY enjoyed the 23YO Rye bottlings from Washington DC, which I bought through the Wine Specialist. The Iron Fist & Velvet Glove are both incredible – dark brown color, rich mouth feel, leather, tobacco, hints of dark vanilla & notes of black cherry -very complex!
Highly recommend! Cheers,
Bill
Where can I find the Willett bourbons in or around the Baltimore area?
Please could you tell me if there are any companys that distribute to the UK, or any companies in the UK that may have WILLETT Bourbon.
Kind Regards
Sarah Willett !
Is there an outlet for Willett Bourbons in Central Indiana? If not how about Louisville?
