330 ml bottle, #316/432. We did the entire Big Bang Willetts together..
Aroma is dark fruit, apple, English toffee. Flavor is ridiculously smooth. Toffee, caramel, bourbon and vanilla from bourbon are married together perfectly. WOW!!

Bottle shared with membership group. Maple syrup brown, fine particulates, nice viscosity. Aroma is well-balanced caramel, bourbon, vanilla. Taste is well-balanced bourbon, caramel, hint of spice. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Very nice.

330mL bottled 7/25/25, #316/432, drunk 7/26/25.
Deep chestnut-amber, clear. Small, beige head quickly to ring.
More intense aromatics but it's not too strong or too spicy. Less spicy than the six but stronger fruitiness and bourbon intensity. More vanilla, more sweetness. Still that round, elegant, balanced character with no alcohol noted.
Juicy orange and tea with rose water and soft spice. Fruity and nicely-attenuated caramel. Dry toffee and rich vanilla but all just so tasteful, balanced, easygoing and lovely. My goodness!
