Falcon Spirits Fernet Francisco Willet Collaboration (Cask Finished)

Discover how this small batch producer of award-winning spirits applies imagination and innovation to the agricultural bounty that surrounds them.

Indulge in the remarkable fusion of two distinct worlds with Fernet Francisco’s latest release, a bold collaboration with the revered Willett Distillery. This limited-edition Fernet, our 9th Cask series release, has been meticulously matured in freshly emptied Willett Bourbon barrels for six months, resulting in a spirit that deftly marries California craftsmanship with Kentucky tradition.

At first sip, the unmistakable sweet aroma of Willett Bourbon greets you, setting the stage for an intricate dance of botanicals. Rhubarb, cinnamon, and clove weave through fresh orange peel and California bay leaves, delivering a symphony of flavors that is both familiar and adventurous. The herbaceous bitterness is balanced by a subtle sweetness—no excess here—with just a touch of cane sugar to harmonize the complex layers.

Each of the 12 hand-picked, locally sourced botanicals adds depth and dimension to this rich elixir, with notes of gentian root, orris root, cardamom, peppermint, and German chamomile leading the charge. As always, our ingredients are curated from the vibrant markets of the San Francisco Bay Area, bringing a uniquely West Coast flair to this timeless spirit.

The result is a Fernet with a refined edge—bitterness tamed by the smooth, oaky vanilla notes of Bourbon-soaked wood, yet grounded in the bold tradition of herbal liqueurs. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or as the backbone of a cocktail, Fernet Francisco Willett Bourbon Cask Finished invites you to discover the art of balance, craftsmanship, and indulgence.
