| Willett Family Estate 7 Year Bourbon 'Reid & Emerald V' Private Barrel Selection (Barrel 767) | $5,550 | Est. $6,000 - $8,000 | 750 ml | Barrel 767 was selected by Reid & Emerald in the Spring of 2009 (alongside barrel 797) but was allowed to age for an additional year and bottled on 10/13/2010.Although never confirmed by Willett it is widely known that the 700/800 series barrels are Brown-Forman distilled. Numerous barrels were tasted from this series before narrowing it down to just these chosen few final selections.In total, five barrels were bottled under the Willett "Reid & Emerald" series. Barrel 797—the lone 6yr—was selected first. Then came 577, 7389 and 443—all 17yr wheated bourbons from a different selection of barrels—which were all chosen and bottled sequentially. 767 was set aside and bottled last because of the extra year of aging.Did You Know? The Reid & Emerald series are some of the select few Willett bourbons sealed with green wax. Willett typically used green wax (and later, foil) to designate rye whiskeys.Bottle Size: 750 ml, 130 ProofAge Statement: Seven YearsPrivate Barrel Selection By: Reid & Emerald VBarrel #: 767Bottle #: 88Total Bottles Produced: 137Reserve Price: $0 (NR)Disclaimer from Unicorn Auctions:Please take the time to examine the photos of each lot prior to placing any bids, as each lot contains original photos of the items for sale.
