I picked this bottle up on a trip to Kentucky back at the end of June. Noah's Mill is a blend put out by Willet Distilling. It originally carried a 15 year age statement, but like many whiskies in the last few years, it has lost that distinction and now consists of a blend of 4-20 year old whiskey. As it is a blend, the mash bill is uncertain. This whiskey is bottled at an impressive 57.15% ABV. It pours a burnished gold color and produces abundant but skinny legs in the glass. On the nose, there is sweet caramel, cinnamon honey, and hints of minty rye. There was very little alcohol burn considering the proof. Diluted down about 3:1 with water the nose is richer, sweeter, with more brown sugar and less spice. The palate is sweet, spicy, mild oak; caramel brown sugar with cinnamon and pepper. Pretty sure there's a fairly high percentage of rye in this blend, maybe 20-30%? With water it becomes somewhat sweeter but retains the cinnamon, like a cinnamon roll. There is a slight hint of a "green oak" note that I noticed in Bookers. I know "green oak" is a strange description but that's what it makes me think of; I don't know how else to describe it. The green note has dissapated over time, just as it did with Bookers. The finish is moderately long and is a little hot, dry and spicy. Water has little to no effect on the finish. These notes were taken from two tastings. One from the first pour after opening and the other today, about 6 weeks later. There was little change over that time, other than the fading of the "green oak" note. This bottle was $55 in Kentucky. At that price it's an average value. Yes, it's a barrel strength bourbon for $55, but there are other barrel strength releases out there that are just as good or better at a lower price; Wild Turkey Rare Breed and Knob Creek come to mind. I am enjoying this bottle but I probably won't go looking for it again. 3.5/5. Cheers!
