Willett Pot Still Reserve with Glencairn Set Bundle

Willet Pot Still Reserve Bourbon  modern day whiskey making. Beginning in Louisville Kentucky during Reconstruction, John David Willett — the family patriarch — began distilling whiskey at the Moore, Willett & Frenke Distillery. At 15 his son, A. Lambert Willett began following in his father's footsteps distilling whiskey. Three decades later, Lambert, together with his son, Thompson purchased a farm on the outskirts of Bardstown, Kentucky, and began construction of the Willett Distilling Company. While the Willett Distilling Company eventually changed its name to Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, the family tradition lives on — Even Kulsveen, the current owner of KBD, is Thompson Willett's son-in-law.  In keeping with family tradition, Willett Pot Still Reserve is a  single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon. Aged for between eight and ten years, Willett Pot Still Reserve bourbon earned the Gold Medal for taste at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2008, and the Double Gold
