Old Bardstown Estate Bottled is Willett’s original flagship bottling and a benchmark example of the distillery’s 72% corn/13% rye/15% barley mash bill. While the Old Bardstown 90 Proof should stand at the ready for any and all cocktailing applications, the Estate bottling, with its slightly higher proof and slightly older distillate in the bottle, is a versatile sipping and mixing whiskey that deserves a space on any back bar.
