Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon 15 Year Old #1308 121 Proof (DARK SIDE OF THE MOON) SIGNED by LeNell

121 proof. 15 years. Barrel #1308. DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Signed by LeNell. Willett Family Estate — a celebrity-signed named single barrel expression with provenance from LeNell Smothers, one of the most influential figures in the American craft spirits retail world, whose name on a bottle carries specific collector significance.

LeNell Smothers was the founder of LeNell's Wine & Spirits in Brooklyn — one of the most respected and influential independent spirits retailers in American whiskey history, credited with introducing rare American whiskies to a new generation of New York collectors and enthusiasts before the broader bourbon revival. Her personal selection of individual barrels became collector events, and her signature on a barrel is a direct documentation of her curation at a specific moment in that collector legacy.

'DARK SIDE OF THE MOON' as the barrel name creates a layered identity: the Pink Floyd reference combined with LeNell's signature makes this one of the most distinctively provenanced Willett expressions in the current Wooden Cork collection.
