The most important bourbon on that list for me was Willet Family Estate. it introduced me to single barrel bourbon. To barrel strength bourbon. and to the rarity and uniqueness of each Willett....

My very first bottle was a Shoppers Vineyard pick in either 2008 or 2009... I didn't know what I was buying but it was amazing delicious with a great mouthfeel... amazing finish as well.. I wouldn't clean the glass out to get a great nose the next day... I thought all WIllettts were like this till I tried to track down my next bottle... to this day I still dream of this bottle....
