Ep 26: “What is Willett’s Legacy? and a Road Trip back to Whiskey House”

Jason and Bradford hit the road once again, landing at the legendary Whiskey House Nashville. Tucked inside the exclusive Kentucky Room (yes, it’s as incredible as it sounds), the guys soaked in the ambiance and savored some serious bourbon history. They also share stories from memorable college road trips. This episode dives deep into Willett Distillery—an iconic, family-owned operation founded in 1936 that weathered bourbon’s dark ages and revived its name in 2012. Jason and Bradford explore the story behind Willett’s resurgence and legacy high proof smooth taste experience. Featured pours include the Willett Black Label, a smooth 8-year wheated bourbon clocking in at 108 proof, and two distinct Willett Pot Still offerings: Reserve and Single Barrel—known as much for their unique bottle shape as their bold 94-proof taste. And for the grand finale? A taste (and tale) of the mythical 23-year-old Willett Purple Top—as well as a very near unattainable Mt. Vernon Rye from 1937! Two rare gems you may never see again. Pour a glass, settle in, and join the guys for stories, sips, and a room you have to see to believe. The Whiskey House is one of Nashville’s best kept secrets. There are only two ways to experience it - as the guest of a Whiskey House trustee or at a tasting experience through a donation made to a charity or non-profit who has partnered with Whiskey House.
