Willett Pot Still Reserve with Glencairn Whisky Glass Set. Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, Bardstown, Kentucky the iconic pot still-shaped single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon paired with a Glencairn whisky glass set, combining one of America’s most recognized bottle designs with the whisky glass that the world’s master blenders helped develop specifically to showcase the aromas of fine whiskey.

Willett Pot Still Reserve is a single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon aged 810 years, Gold Medal for taste and Double Gold Medal for design at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Each bottle is labeled with the specific aging barrel’s number, the bottle’s position within that barrel’s series, and the total bottles from the barrel the same individual provenance documentation that defines the entire Willett Family Estate single barrel program.

The Glencairn glass was designed specifically to concentrate and channel whisky aromas toward the nose in a way that a standard tumbler cannot. Its tapered mouth directs the spirit’s aromatic compounds while the wider bowl allows them to develop. Raymond Davidson designed the original concept; the final form was refined with input from master blenders at five of Scotland’s largest whisky companies. For any single barrel whiskey like Pot Still Reserve, where the specific barrel’s individual character makes tasting notes genuinely distinct from bottle to bottle, a proper nosing glass like the Glencairn makes that character accessible.
