Noah's Mill Bourbon

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed October 19, 2019 (edited January 11, 2020)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
Made a run to one of my favorite stores down the road in MD and picked up 2 bottles of Noah's Mill, an Eagle Rare and a Belle Meade today. Do I have a problem? The correct answer is NO!!! LOL! Both the Noah's and the Belle Meade are new to me. This highly reminds me of Booker's in the ethanol nosing and burn in the mouth. But the taste, at a still high 114 proof (well below every Booker's in my arsenal) is more smooth and creamy. A little water or a few ice chips help to tone down the spice burn. Unlike many bourbons, this is not too sweet at all but still sweet. Being a fan of whiskeys like this, I am sipping this bad boy in my latest and favorite tasting glass, a Taylor'd Milestones Reserve. The experience is very nice indeed. While I love the classic Glencairn, while properly limiting the amount in the sip, it does not allow for simultaneous nosing ... a case of either/or, so to speak. With the Taylor'd one can actually sip or swallow and nose together, as it is simply a bigger version of the bowl and chimney design. Getting back to the Postman, errrr, Whiskey, have to say Rob Morton described this very well. The nose detects some orange oil, peach and marshmallow. On the tongue, there is a lot going on. Individual tastes will differ of course. Cinnamon spice, but in the right measure, and Vanilla cream And I do get something in the aftertaste, almost reminiscent of minty cough drops or liquid evergreen- but not in a bad way. My taster does not sense any of the nosed fruitiness here. The liquor is lightish amber and swirls nicely, leaving a telltale ribbon of thin arches which seem to turn into a series of tiny drops as the legs descend. Despite the relatively high proof, I could sip this for a good long while as the bite becomes more under control with time. But let a larger swallow through though and it immediately reminds me of the proof. Creamy smooth, nice flavor complexity and a spicy bite at the same time ... altogether delicious! This is a go-to whenever whiskey at a very reasonable price. On sale at $54 in MD. The PA stores don't have it yet. Edit 1/29/'20: PA now carries it at $59.99 and it sells out very fast, just like anything Weller. Snagged 2 with a free home delivery sale. Yeah!!!!!

    Didn't realize it has enjoyed even better days. Wow, that taste would be a great treat.

    Good review :-). This used to be AMAZING sadly it's still good but nowhere near the dizzying heights it once reached. The latest batch I also thought a 4 rating hit the mark.
