Any of you fellers tried Willett?

Several different ones, Matt, most recently I posted about this one. Which one are you thinking of?

That's the one I got with the purple in it. Purple foil over the cap too. I got it for my neighbor.
How is it?

Honestly Matt, I was a little disappointed. You can taste the "youth" in this 4 year old bourbon, as well as a very short dry finish. Not bad, just not what I was hoping for. I hope you like it better!

I've heard the purple top is outstanding but it pretty unobtainable or the secondary price is crazy. I've also had Johnny Drum which is a Willett product and it's okay.

Jim, are you speaking of the purple top single barrels that go for hundreds if not thousands? The 4 year bourbon released recently is around $65 MSRP, with the secondary going for $115.

Yes, mine is the 4 year. I got it for $60.
Thanks for the input fellas.

Tom, I wasn't too sure if the purple tops were exclusive to the high end Willett and their 8-year-old wheated bourbon.
