Single barrel #728. Willett Family Estate Bottled — own-distilled 7-year Bardstown bourbon at a notably approachable 102.0 proof for a Willett single barrel, making this one of the most accessible cask strength expressions in the current Willett lineup.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 102.0 proof, Barrel #728 is among the lowest-proof own-distilled Willett single barrels currently in the Wooden Cork collection — dramatically below the 120–140+ proof range of most of the other barrels in the catalog. The moderate proof reflects a specific barrel's natural aging trajectory, with less concentration from the angel's share than higher-proof expressions. The result is 7-year Willett character at a proof level that allows more direct access to the grain and fruit without the need for water.\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, Single Barrel, Cask Strength\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102.0 (51.0% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e #728\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy is Barrel #728 at such a low proof compared to other Willett single barrels?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatural cask strength varies dramatically based on each barrel's individual position, wood characteristics, and aging trajectory.
