Willett Artist Series Vol. II: A Fusion of Bourbon, Art, and Philanthropy Now Available on Vino Auctions
The eagerly awaited Willett Artist Series Vol. II is now live on Vino Auctions, marking a unique collaboration between Willett Distillery, renowned contemporary artist King Saladeen, and the Kids For Kids Foundation. This exclusive collection seamlessly blends the worlds of high-end bourbon, striking visual art, and a philanthropic mission. With all proceeds benefiting children and families battling cancer, the series is as meaningful as it is collectible.
Each bottle in the Willett Artist Series Vol. II is more than just a fine spirit—it's a piece of art. Adorned with bold, contemporary designs by King Saladeen, each bottle is accompanied by a print of his original artwork. This fusion of fine art and high-end bourbon creates a one-of-a-kind collector's item for enthusiasts of both worlds.
Willett Distillery, known for its heritage of excellence and highly coveted single-barrel releases, lends its legendary bourbon to this series. For whiskey aficionados and collectors, this collaboration elevates both the bourbon and the art into a must-have experience.
Every cent raised from this limited-edition collection will benefit the Kids For Kids Foundation, which has raised over $10 million in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and other New York City-based children’s hospitals. This makes each purchase not only a unique addition to any collection but also a powerful contribution to a meaningful cause.
Willett Artist Series Vol. II bottles are exclusively available through Vino Auctions. Hand-selected, aged bourbons in this collection range from $1,111 to $5,000, making them not only rare but a truly limited-edition offering. Once these bottles are sold, they won’t be available again, adding an air of exclusivity to this extraordinary release.
Key Voices Behind the Project:
