I review the new Willett 80th Anniversary Bourbon. It’s a $35 Bottled-In-Bond release (4 year old bottled at 100 proof) of their own distillate, and will be in short supply since there’s only 5,200 bottles to go around.
As of 9-2017, my current bottle count stands at over 2,400 bottles. I am a Certified Specialist of Spirits and have also been certified by the Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT). I’ve been actively collecting for the last two decades and what started as a small basic home bar has transformed (with the help and understanding of my wonderful wife) into what I think is a pretty nice collection. Thank you for watching and sharing in my passion.
Cheers!

Spot on review! This stuff is going to be fantastic in a few years if this is the kind of juice they are getting out of four year old maturation. The first thing that hit me was cherry licorice. I don’t think I’ve ever had a more balanced bourbon that was this young. It allows the complexity to show itself with only the corn as the consistent backdrop.
LiquorHound – lucky you – I wish I could also have a bottle of the new Willett 80th Anniversary Bourbon. Great review – thanks!!
$35 ?? Here in Louisville, KY these are going for $175 at the minimum
Kirk and Sweeny 23 or Ron Zacapa 23. What would you prefer?
I really enjoy your reviews and wish you would do more but I understand why you can’t.
Great review! I would love to be able to get this whiskey…
Great review!
Their 3 year old Rye is fantasic, I would really love to try some of their older Rye’s. This one sounds great, I would love to pick this up. I will try to find it for sure.
Great review Hound. I don’t think this will cost $35 when, if at all, it reaches my side of the pond. Can I put in a request? I would love to see you review some Mezcals. There are so few reviews of quality mezcal and I know you enjoy it. Del Maguey have just been bought out but they just continue to release great stuff. I’ve never had a bad Pierde Almas either. Cheers
great video. how long does a open bottle stay good? and how much money you put in already for your collection’s?
Great review
Yay!! Your’e back!! Glad to see you doing reviews again. Looking forward to your top 2017 spirits.
Outstanding review, good to see a whiskey video again
