Noah's Mill is a small batch Kentucky straight bourbon from the Willett family in Bardstown, Kentucky, bottled by hand at barrel strength, 114.3 proof (57.15% ABV).
Batches are small, fewer than 20 barrels at a time, and the whiskey is handmade in the hills of Kentucky, bottled at a strength that best complements its age. Noah's Mill has earned Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2011 and 2012.
It is one of the most lush and rich whiskeys on the market. The nose shows walnuts, prunes and floral notes, and the palate mirrors it with walnuts, prunes and spice intertwined with lavender, balanced by just the right acidity, leading down a path of lingering burnt caramel.
A deep, full-strength bourbon of extraordinary character, it makes a fine gift for bourbon lovers.
Sip it neat, then add a little water to open it up.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
