Private Stock. Bottled Exclusively for Bob Anderson. Willett — one of the most personally specific expressions in the current Wooden Cork collection, a private stock bottling produced exclusively for a named individual in 1980 — over 45 years from original production.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWillett’s Private Stock program in the 1970s and 1980s produced named-recipient bourbon in small quantities for individuals, businesses, and organizations — a predecessor to the modern single barrel selection program. A bottle bearing a specific person’s name as the exclusive recipient documents a private commission that would have been produced in extremely limited quantities, likely just a single barrel or a few cases, making it both a historical artifact and a genuinely unique collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1980 production date places this expression in the heart of the pre-revival era of American whiskey, when Willett was producing bourbon for an export-focused market and private commissions were among the few premium channels available. At 90 proof, the Bob Anderson Private Stock is presented at a moderate proof standard for retail bourbon of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Willett Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Private Stock\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 (45% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottled exclusively for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bob Anderson\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/rare\"\u003erare spirits at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat was the Willett Private Stock program?\u003c\/strong\u003e A named-recipient private bottling program from Willett in the 1970s–1980s that produced bourbon for specific individuals and organizations — a predecessor to the modern single barrel selection format, producing extremely limited quantities for each named recipient.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What was the Willett Private Stock program?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A named-recipient private bottling program from the 1970s-1980s producing bourbon for specific individuals and organizations — a predecessor to modern single barrel selection, in extremely limited quantities per recipient.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Willett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42900718420039,"sku":"Scott","price":4379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/willett-1980-private-stock-bottled-exclusively-for-bob-anderson-90-proof-bourbon-123_d25b5a87-514e-4f6b-ad26-acee2e6711be.webp?v=1782400808","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/willett-1980-private-stock-bottled-exclusively-for-bob-anderson-90-proof","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
