Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon #1056 28 Year Old 128.8 Proof 1980

Barrel #1056, bottle #53 of 120, selected for Pacific Edge Wine & Spirits, distilled 05/8/1980, stored in warehouse H, rick: S4, black wax capsule has hairline cracking

Pacific Edge, a wine and spirits shop in Agoura Hills, California, was an early and ardent fan of the Willett Distillery’s Family Estate program. Barrels they selected would be bottled with a standard Willett label, with the details about proof, age and customer filled in by hand (at first). Because the shop got in early, it was able to purchase unbelievable barrels, like this 28-year-old bourbon, one of the oldest ever to go into bottles unblended with younger whiskey.
