How does a 6-year Willett compare to the older expressions?

The flavor is more grain-forward and fruit-driven than the 9, 12, and 15-year releases, with less oak dominance and lower heat especially at 104.8 proof. It’s the entry point for Willett collectors and a very sippable barrel-strength pour without needing water to tame it.

Is a 6-year single barrel worth collecting?
