Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon 18 Year Old #1618 113.8 Proof Cobra Kai Pick

Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Bourbon 18 Year Old #1618 113.8 Proof "Cobra Kai Pick" is a private barrel selection bottled for Cobra Kai — an 18-year-aged single barrel from Willett Distillery in Bardstown, KY, bottled at 113.8 proof (56.9% ABV). At 18 years, this sits at the top of Willett's age-stated lineup, sharing tier with the most sought-after Family Estate expressions in the catalog. Non-chill filtered, hand-bottled from a single cask, with Willett's characteristic hand-labeled format. The Cobra Kai named pick designation documents the selector for collectors tracking Willett barrel provenance.

Eighteen years in Kentucky barrel conditions dramatically concentrates the spirit — the angel's share removes a significant percentage of the original fill, leaving behind an intensely rich, oak-forward expression with deep dried fruit, leather, and chocolate notes that are characteristic of Willett's long-aged single barrels. At 113.8 proof, this is powerful but balanced — the lower proof relative to some other long-aged Willett releases means the oak integration is smooth rather than punishing.
