Willett Family Estate Rye 12 Year “Dirty Dozen” Barrel #2520 – 119.2 Proof (750mL)

Bold. Rare. Unapologetically Complex.
From the prestigious Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Rye series comes a show-stopping release: the Willett Family Estate Rye 12 Year “Dirty Dozen”, bottled from Barrel #2520 at a robust 119.2 proof (59.6% ABV). This Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is aged for a full 12 years in new American oak and bottled non-chill filtered to preserve every ounce of flavor, texture, and natural complexity.

As a limited single barrel release, “Dirty Dozen” offers a one-of-a-kind profile that serious whiskey collectors and rye enthusiasts won’t want to miss.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: A commanding nose of charred oak, deep vanilla, and dark brown sugar, followed by layered notes of mint leaf, eucalyptus, and spice box.

• Palate: Intensely rich and oily with a rush of cinnamon, black licorice, and molasses, balanced by undertones of burnt orange peel, pipe tobacco, and leather. The 12 years of aging are unmistakable in its dense, layered structure.

• Finish: Exceptionally long and warm. Bold rye spice gives way to lingering flavors of clove, dark chocolate, and toasted almond, with a dry, earthy edge.

Single Barrel Rarity: Barrel #2520, known as the “Dirty Dozen,” is a one-time-only release—making each bottle unique and collectible.

Aged 12 Years: Extended aging enhances depth, structure, and oak integration.

Cask Strength Experience: Bottled at 119.2 proof, this whiskey offers an unfiltered expression of pure Kentucky rye character.

High Collectibility: Coveted by collectors, Willett’s older Family Estate ryes are becoming increasingly difficult to find on the open market.
