I’ve been looking forward to trying this one after having Rowan’s Creek and other Willett offerings. I’ve heard this is the higher proof version of Rowan’s Creek, let’s see. The nose has that standard Willett freshly baked bread with baking spices thing going on. Along with hints of cinnamon, spearmint and cooked plumbs. I also pick up some vanilla, brown sugar. The palate has an oily mouthfeel and is semi-sweet. There is a continuation of those baking spices along with rye. The finish is long and holiday spices linger for a while along with some oak. It dries the mouth a little, but not too much. I like this one a lot. It feels like a more mellow and matured version of Rowan’s Creek. Though I will say, Rowan’s Creek has a lot more upfront in your face spicey and earthy flavors going on the nose and palate, though a lot lighter mouthfeel. I would say Noah’s Mill is Thanksgiving and Rowan’s Creek is Christmas. In both flavor and level of relaxation. (I’m more relaxed during Thanksgiving)
