Willett
Rowan's Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 50.05% 70cl
- Details
Until around 2012, Rowan’s Creek, along with the other 6 standard batched labels produced by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (aka KDB, aka Willett), was made of a blend of various sourced bourbons. The likely source of a majority of the bourbon came from the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville. It also carried with it a 12 year age statement for a small time, likely ceasing around 2006. The brand is now produced using WIllett's own stock, and if you can it's very interesting to try a 'modern' release side-by-side with an older sourced bottling. Willett wanted to create differences between each core label that they made so they created four distinct bourbon mash bills - while it's not explcitily stated, evidence points to Rowan's Creek utilising one of 2 high-corn recipes.
However, there is a good deal of spiciness on the palate which belies the high-corn statement, with cinnamon, cardamom and a hint of dried chilli flakes surrounding a core of runny hunny, espresso coffee and salted caramel. It's a delicious Bourbon with 'old-school' vibes, making it a good after-dinner dram or a base for a Manhattan.
