XCF Exploratory Cask Curacao Finish Rye Whiskey 750ml

Bottle size

This is the first time that Willett has released an Exploratory Cask Finish which is commonly referred to as XCF 1.0. For the first release, a 7 year-old American Rye Whiskey was finished in Curacao Casks, which were sourced from France, for approximately 90 days. Curacao Casks are used to make Curacao which is a liqueur flavored with the dried peel of the laraha citrus fruit grown on the island of Curacao. Because these barrels were imported from France an unconfirmed rumor is that they were previously used in the production of Grand Marnier. The rye used was most likely sourced from MGP in Indiana and aged and finished at the Willett property in Bardstown, Kentucky. 6,912 Bottles were produced.…

About the brand

Widely considered to be one of the best producers of high quality, top-tier Kentucky whiskey, the Willett Distillery is largely underrated when compared with some of the bigger names coming out of Buffalo Trace. Despite this, Willett has become renowned for crafting some of the finest unfiltered, barrel proof whiskeys on the planet, winning countless accolades for their dedicated approach to engineering beautifully balanced and remarkably complex spirits. With an array of brand-defining flavors and varieties, Willett offers something for everyone, with their older vintage reserve and barrel proof lines gaining widespread acclaim from collectors and connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The first scent to hit my nose is orange…and a lot of it! The orange is both a citrusy scent along with a distinctive orange rind aroma. Beneath that I smell light rye notes mixed with oak trying to break through.

Taste

Wow is this a funky palate! Orange is still very much upfront and present, along with distinctive notes of a thin sugar molasses, fresh wood, allspice, white pepper and rye. The palate is both distinctly sweet and ever so slightly spicy.

Finish

The finish is light and airy to start. The sweet taste of orange is present, however, much less so than what was found in the nose and palate.
