Incredibly Rare!! The Willett Distillery 16 Year "Kentucky Bonded" Bourbon Quart is a rare relic from Kentucky’s bourbon heritage, bottled in 1978. This expression was distilled in 1959 at the family-run Willett Distillery, a period when American whiskey was undergoing significant change and Bottled-in-Bond regulations ensured authenticity and quality. The “quart” size and government-issued Bottled-in-Bond strip on the label reflect the era’s strict standards and distinctive packaging. With 16 years of aging, this release stands as a remarkable find, produced at a time when aged bourbon of this caliber was uncommon. Today, original bottles like this are highly sought after by collectors, offering a glimpse into bourbon’s golden years and Willett’s enduring legacy in Bardstown.
