For the 2018 edition of The Bourbon Crusaders’ annual charity event, the Crusaders partnered with Willett to raise over $340,000 for the American Cancer Society. Willett’s live auction donations are now legendary in the bourbon community.
While it is impossible to capture the experience of the evening in words, this extra-aged barrel from the event auction truly reflects the magic of the event.
Enjoy this bourbon, the spirit of people coming together to fight cancer.
