Bottle shared with membership group. Opaque dark brown-black with nice viscosity. Aroma is earthy, peaty malt. Taste is mix of earthy, peaty malt, bourbon. Smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. It all sounds OK but it just doesn't work that great.

330 ml bottle, #278/432. We did the entire Big Bang Willetts together. 11 year is pretty balanced overall. Sweetness is balanced by the mildly spicy Willett bourbon barrel. No alcohol or warming after sip. Real good.

#381/432. .. 9 year appears to be more spicy then the previous two. Still really great overall flavor. But the Willett is more intense here. Spice and oak are going to in the other direction.

330mL bottled 10/10/23, #190/420, 7/26/25.
Clear, dark. Small, light-tan head quickly to ring.
Is there a hint of mint or licorice there? Definitely seems like the Willett spice interacting with dark malt creating an herbal spice character. Vanilla and light dark chocolate, but I definitely think it doesnt work as well as the Big Bang does with the Willett. No alcohol noted, though.
Dark chocolate, caramel, salted fudge and a rich, heavily spicy, almost herbal Willett. Wow, that's wacky, but it actually works really well. Minty chocolate and fudge with sweet bourbon and dense chocolate. No alcohol. Really nice, chewy, but not syrupy body and good attenuation. Very pleasantly surprised here!

330mL bottled 7/6/23, #278/432, drunk 7/26/25.
Clear caramel-amber-chestnut. Dark beige head quickly to ring.
Rich, fruity, lots of raisin, toffee, vanilla and a good, fruity bourbon with light sweetness and light, rounded spice. No alcohol, great attenuation. After a bit of a hiccup from the somewhat oxidized 9 year, this 11 seems to be back on track. Just a hint of tobacco on the very end.
Rich, fruity, earthy with tea and light tobacco. Moderate spice, lots of caramel-toffee-vanilla. Soft and rich, balanced and complex. Rich malt lingering with spice and vanilla.
