Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon 7 Year Old #728 102.0 Proof

102.0 proof. 7 years. Single barrel #728. Willett Family Estate Bottled — own-distilled 7-year Bardstown bourbon at a notably approachable 102.0 proof for a Willett single barrel, making this one of the most accessible cask strength expressions in the current Willett lineup.

At 102.0 proof, Barrel #728 is among the lowest-proof own-distilled Willett single barrels currently in the Wooden Cork collection — dramatically below the 120–140+ proof range of most of the other barrels in the catalog. The moderate proof reflects a specific barrel's natural aging trajectory, with less concentration from the angel's share than higher-proof expressions. The result is 7-year Willett character at a proof level that allows more direct access to the grain and fruit without the need for water.
