About Willett 8 Year Old Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
The Willett family has a rich distilling history, having founded the Willett Distillery in 1936. In 2012, the renovated distillery opened its doors, the Willetts of today shepherding the family legacy forward. In 2022, the first Willett Wheated 8 Year Bourbon was released. The first release was distilled in 2013 from a proprietary wheated bourbon mash bill, then barreled at 115 proof. After spending 8 years in #4 char American oak casks, it was bottled in 2022 at 108 proof without chill-filtration.

About Willett
For the Willett family, distilling craft whiskey is a family tradition. John David Willlett began distilling at the Moore, Willett & Frenke Distillery just outside of Louisville, Kentucky, during Reconstruction. In 1898, his son, A. Lambert Willett — who was just 15 years old at the time — began apprenticing with his father. Eventually, Lambert purchased a farm on the outskirts of Bardstown, Kentucky, and began construction of the Willett Distilling Company in the spring of 1935. While Willett Distilling Company eventually changed its name to Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, the family tradition lives on. Even Kulsveen, the owner of KBD, is Willett’s son-in-law.
