Drawn from a single cask, barrel No. 2306, this White Elephant 9 Year Straight Rye comes from Willett's barrel program and arrives at cask strength, 58.4% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. Nine years in wood build out a high-rye mash bill, and the uncut proof pushes the spice and oak forward without losing the polish that longer maturation brings.
The pour leans into spiced oak and sharp rye spice, with barrel char running underneath. Caramel fills in the middle, while black pepper carries through the finish.
