You’ve seen it countless times sitting on a liquor store shelf … Noah’s Mill, along with its lower-proof sibling Rowan’s Creek, are two Willett distilled bourbons you won’t have trouble finding or affording. But is the latest batch of Noah’s Mill worth the price of admission?
Pour: Noah’s Mill Kentucky Bourbon b. 23-03
Proof: 114.3
Age: not stated
Color: rich amber
Nose: butter toffee, nutmeg, orange peel
Taste: vanilla, vibrant oak, quirky herbal spice
Finish: long w/ honey-roasted almond, leather, EARTH
Overall: Noah’s Mill’s nose entices one with a rudimentary, albeit welcoming, Kentucky bourbon profile. Unfortunately, an herbal-esque back palate and a long, distracting dirt-like finish keep me from desiring another bottle. Definitely try before you buy.
Rating: No–ehh, meh
