Color: Amber. Oily with slow legs Nose: Brown sugar, vanilla, oak, ripe stone fruit, hints of maple syrup Palate: Vanilla, oak, stone fruits, rich and meaty, oily Finish: Long finish with rye spice that crescendos in intensity. Heavy oak tannins sap your tongues moisture. Faint hint of mint in background. Noah’s Mill is in my bourbon top 5 list. This dram isn’t for the faint of heart. Off the bat it’s hot the nose and palate but, letting it develop helps tamp the sharp edges. It’s very oak and vanilla forward throughout with ripe stone fruits bursting through. The intensity of the finish builds on the quicker side and after climaxing lingers for quite some time.
