Willett Pure Kentucky XO Small Batch Bourbon

A Bourbon with Elegant Maturity.
Willett Pure Kentucky XO Small Batch Bourbon is not just a whiskey — it’s a love letter to tradition, a bourbon that embodies the spirit of Kentucky’s rolling hills and time-honoured craftsmanship. Made by the legendary Willett Distillery in Bardstown, this exquisite small-batch release is aged for many long years in hand-charred oak barrels, allowing it to develop a depth, warmth, and richness that few bourbons can match.

From the moment you uncork it, Pure Kentucky XO enchants with inviting aromas of vanilla, brown sugar, and sweet oak, followed by layers of caramel, cinnamon, and toasted nuts on the palate. Each sip feels like a slow Southern afternoon — mellow, rich, and endlessly rewarding. The finish lingers beautifully, carrying whispers of spice and dark honey that speak of true Kentucky soul.

For whiskey lovers in Ireland, this bottle delivers a taste of old America — pure, unhurried, and full of quiet character. A rare find that appeals to both seasoned collectors and those seeking their next bourbon discovery.

Why we love it:
We love Pure Kentucky XO for its beautiful duality: full-bodied power, yet refined complexity. The high proof gives it a confident presence, while the extended aging imparts luxurious notes of toffee, cherrywood, and winter spice that unfold beautifully across the tasting journey.

It’s a bourbon that stands its ground when enjoyed neat or over ice, and it holds its own in classic cocktails with enough character to enrich a Whiskey Sour or elevate an Old Fashioned. For Irish whisky enthusiasts keen for something both bold and layered, XO is a memorable and rewarding pour.
