Willett Distillery was established in 1936 by Thompson Willett, but the family’s whiskey legacy began long before. Thanks to his father and grandfather, Thompson held a deep knowledge and respect for the craftsmanship involved in making fine whiskeys: Use the best ingredients available, pay close attention to the details – then take a step back and give the whiskey time and space to develop character. The distillery still sits on the same legendary estate as our descendants. Fast forward 90 years, Willett remains truly family owned & operated by Thompson Willett’s grandchildren. Our Kentucky Whiskeys are crafted to be shared among friends for celebrations, both intimate & epic.

Currently, Mario serves as a Market Representative & Brand Educator for Willett Distillery, where he champions one of the industry’s most respected whiskey portfolios.
