Willett Family Estate 8 Year Single Barrel Rye #2883 128.0 Proof (RYETEOUS PICK) very dark

Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Rye 8 Year Old #2883 128.0 Proof "RYETEOUS PICK" is a private barrel selection from Willett Distillery in Bardstown, KY — one of the most actively tracked names in American whiskey. At 8 years old and 128.0 proof (64.0% ABV), Barrel #2883 is a vibrant, high-intensity rye expression with serious barrel heat and classic rye grain energy. Non-chill filtered, hand-bottled from a single cask, with Willett's signature hand-labeled format. The "RYETEOUS PICK" nickname is a quintessential Willett pun — "righteous pick" as a rye play — documenting the selector's enthusiasm for this specific barrel. Eight-year rye at 128 proof is a bold, dynamic combination: the grain spice and intensity haven't mellowed into the deeper oak integration of older releases, making for a punchy, energetic pour.
