While the exact producer remains uncredited, the 'Kentucky Straight Bourbon' designation ensures it adheres to strict production standards: distilled in Kentucky, aged for a minimum of two years in new charred oak barrels, bottled at no less than 80 proof, and containing at least 51% corn in its mash bill. The 'Small Batch' designation further suggests a selection of a limited number of barrels, chosen for their superior quality and consistent flavor profile, indicating a focus on craftsmanship even from an unrevealed source.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Willett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53038080262451,"sku":"2006 KV SBB 0435","price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/1187\/6915\/files\/Willett_KBD_Kentucky_Vintage_2006.jpg?v=1770840984"},{"product_id":"wild-turkey-8-101-1987-liter-minor-foil-damage","title":"Wild Turkey 8\/101 1987 Liter (minor foil damage)","description":"\u003cp\u003eExperience the classic character of a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, aged for a full 8 years to perfection.
