This bourbon is produced by Willett Distillery using a proprietary wheated mash bill generally believed to contain 65% corn, 20% wheat, and 15% malted barley

. The first Willett-made 8-year wheated bourbon was distilled in early spring 2013 and bottled in summer 2022, giving it approximately 9 years of actual aging despite the 8-year label statement
. The bourbon comes in a sleek black bottle with purple foil, representing a departure from the high-demand Family Estate WFE labels
