Willett Bourbon Buying Guide
Willett Pot Still Cask Strength
A new 60% ABV wheated release, compared with Willett Pot Still Reserve and Willett Family Estate 4 Year Cask Strength.
The new Willett Pot Still Cask Strength gives bourbon drinkers a new way to experience Willett’s distinctive Pot Still lineup. This limited-release Kentucky wheated bourbon is bottled at 60% ABV in a 750ml bottle and is currently listed for pre-order at $69.99 at LoveScotch.
Made with corn, wheat, and barley, it leans into a sweeter grain profile while delivering cask-strength intensity. Expect layers of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, fresh mint, and warming barrel spice.
For shoppers deciding between Willett bottles, the key question is not simply which costs more. Proof, mash bill, age positioning, and flavor profile all change the drinking experience.
New Release
Willett Pot Still Cask Strength 
Full-Strength Pot Still
A Wheated Direction
Willett Pot Still Cask Strength takes the familiar Pot Still concept in a fuller-strength direction. Its wheated mash bill combines corn, wheat, and barley, while bottling at 60% ABV gives the bourbon considerably more intensity than Pot Still Reserve.
The wheat is an important distinction for shoppers. Rather than using rye as its secondary flavoring grain, this release is positioned around a sweeter wheated profile backed by substantial barrel strength.
That makes it especially worth considering if you already enjoy Pot Still Reserve but want more concentration, warmth, and structure without moving toward a rye-driven mash bill.

Willett Bourbon Price & Bottle Comparison
If you are comparing Willett bourbon price points, all three bottles sit relatively close together despite offering noticeably different proof levels and styles.

| Willett Pot Still Cask Strength | 60% | 4-year small-batch cask-strength bourbon | $69.99 |
| Willett Family Estate 4 Year Cask Strength | 62.5% | 4-year small-batch cask-strength bourbon | $72.99 |
The current Willett bourbon whiskey price spread is only $13 from the least expensive bottle to the most expensive, so flavor and proof may be more useful decision factors than price alone.
Pot Still Reserve is the lowest-proof and most approachable option. Pot Still Cask Strength moves to a wheated mash bill and substantially higher proof. Family Estate 4 Year Cask Strength reaches 62.5% ABV and uses rye in the mash bill, bringing a more spice-driven profile.
Buying Guide
Which Willett Whiskey Should You Buy?
The right Willett whiskey depends primarily on how much proof you prefer and whether you favor a softer grain profile or more pronounced spice.

This 4-year small-batch bourbon is bottled at 62.5% ABV and uses corn, rye, and malted barley. Its profile brings together caramelized sugar, vanilla, toasted oak, dark cherry, toffee, cinnamon, charred wood, and peppery warmth.
