Willett Family Estate 14 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey #9560 "Shakedown Street" 750ml

The Willett Family Estate 14 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey #9560, nicknamed “Shakedown Street”, is part of Willett Distillery’s highly coveted Family Estate line. Each barrel in this series is unique, bottled at cask strength, and released in extremely limited quantities, making them prized among collectors and enthusiasts. Barrel #9560 represents 14 years of careful aging in charred American oak, offering a rare glimpse into Willett’s artistry and the individuality of single-barrel bourbon. With its distinctive nickname and limited availability, this bottling carries both prestige and investment value in the bourbon world.

On the palate, “Shakedown Street” delivers a rich and layered flavor profile typical of Willett’s older single barrels. Expect deep notes of dark fruits such as plum, cherry, and fig, balanced by waves of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak from its long maturation. Spice builds gradually, with hints of cinnamon, clove, and pepper adding complexity, while subtle undertones of leather and tobacco round out the finish. The cask-strength nature ensures intensity, yet with a splash of water or slow savoring, its nuanced sweetness and lingering warmth reveal themselves fully, making it both powerful and elegant.

ABV: 57.2%
