Tried next to the other Willet-verse collection. Aroma is Willett on top of maple, milk chocolate, and oak. Flavor has a strong malt presence and backbone that shows the maple and chocolate with a steady amount of Willet throughout. Not as spicy as the other variations. No ABV can be found, and the texture is very smooth.

635 of 1200 bottle, drunk 5/3/25.
Dark, clear. Viscous, little/no head.
Nutty as shit with an almond paste like character. Barrel even things out and there's dry chocolate with excellent barrel character. No booze, not sugary. Cacao and Willett spice with brownies.
Soft, juicy, chocolatey, lots of Willett spice with vanilla, fudge, good dryness and tons of barrel. Wow this is very, very flavorful, and uncharacterfully tasteful on the adjuncts.

500 ml bottle. Dated 04/21/2020. Numbered: 436 / 1200. Aroma is peanut and peanut shell right away. The flavor definitely shows peanuts, chocolate and bourbon. Not sure I find banana any place. However, this is over 11 months since bottling. Overall, even minus the banana, still real good.

Tried next to the other Willet-verse collection. The flavor is moderately spicy. Good amount of chocolate and biscuits. Willet she was a pretty strong presence after the set. Again, not a whole Lotta alcohol found.

Bottles 314 and 399 drunk 5/3/25.
Clear, dark, small, tan head.
Chocolatey and a bit raw, like the 4yr. Good spiciness, clean and well-presented.
Spicy as fuck in flavor. Light lead, with rich chocolate, fudge, fairly sweet. Drying out somewhat on the end with biscuit and fudge. Liquor and spice lingering. Lightly spirited, chocolatey and spicy.

Bottles #343, 380, drunk 5/3/25.
Dark, clear. Small, spotty, tan head.
Biscuit, dry toffee, toast and not as much Willett spice as the previous iterations. Biscuity chocolate.
Oh wow, but that's very bourbony in the mouth. Sweet, malty, rich, caramelly and lightly boozey. Sweet, chocolatey. Could be spicier and at least it's got good barrel character but I wish it were a bit spicier. Chocolate fudge and milk chocolate. Sweet and rich.

Tried next to the other Willet-verse collection. Aroma shows the same as the 4 and 6 year. Flavor is chocolate, mild spice and Willet is much more subdued than the others in the collection. I don’t find maple here at all.
