I did a few days ago and just got some Noah’s mill bc the brand was lodged in my brain. Yes, cinnamony - but beautiful bouquet of vanilla perfume onthe nose.
This was/is my first love. Before Noah’s bourbon was supposed to be cheap and drank by the shot glass with friends at the bar. This was the bottle that changed all of that. I struggled with spending $50 on a bourbon, but I’m so glad I did. That was 5/6 years ago and I still love this stuff.
Trying my first pour of this right now. I started this tasting before starting the video, in order to keep my tasting a bit more unbiased. Such an incredible pour. I definitely got the cinnamon and vanilla from it. Even without me finding out from you that it was a blend of different aged bourbons, it definitely had a complexity that contains a wonderful blend of the excitement of youth, and the wisdom that comes with age.
In past years this has been a fun bourbon adventure since you never know what taste profile you would get, but the last bottle I purchased was so cinnamon heavy as to be almost undrinkable. I brought it out for a tasting and to a person no one could stand it.
I learned the other day that Rowan's creek was named after the creek that kept their property safe during the Heaven Hill fire. Super great folks at Willett...
Watching this ep for tge first time and i was so close to spitting my whiskey everywhere. Makes me wonder if Rex ever does any of the creative classes at the marketing school ; )
Found this bottle very sweet, even for bourbon. Ice or water ruins the flavor, even thought he proof is very high. Neat is the only way this bourbon tastes right (for me).
I'm surprised that Rex didn't know whistle pig is another term for groundhog, as they are quite similar. Much like the whistle pig only comes out of it lair for food, Rex only leaves his lair to mouch whiskey!
I bought this because I love lot's of caramel in a bourbon, but when I tried this, it had a predominant peanut flavour to me that was off-putting. :-) It's really sweet but It was hard for me to detect a caramel flavour in a sea of peanuts.
Found your comments onn thhe Glenmorangie Maderia Cask interesting. Have to rank Maderia cask scotchs as Balvenie Maderia first, Klichoman Maderia second, Pendlyn third Welsh, then Glenmorangie.
If you had to buy a bottle of this ($50+ near me) or Rowans creek (mid $30's) which would you buy. Knowing also how you found that water really helps the Rowans?
Hey man , jealous of you guys still haha. Just wanted to know if you could possibly do a whisky from an "odd" country or place. Like somewhere That doesn't really make whisky if you know what I mean? As always keep up the awesome work since a new one comes out just before I go to sleep so watching in bed us awesome.
If you roam back through, we've done a bunch of random ones! here's a link to the "other regions" list of episodes: ua-cam.com/play/PLTqyj1DR-0M54l-h_YEwjNMBjGGCQGIDh.html
Since finishing the aging process in a different barrel, for example sherry, changes the overall flavor profile, could you(in theory) finish the whisky in whatever you want? Or are there things you should avoid? For example are there any good brandy-finished whiskies?
In theory, you could do anything! I can tell you that Brenne is a brand that ages in Cognac barrels. Only weak link is that it can be overwhelming to the whisky flavors. Woodford has a brandy finished bourbon, I think.
To go along with Webb's question, is there a minimum length to which something should be finished in a different barrel? I assume that finishing in a already used barrel can give a new note rather rapidly due to some left over still in the barrel.
trinityzaku I second this question and also add, do you know of anything that has been transferred between multiple barrels? like say port then Sherry then cognac? or something of that nature?
The length is entirely determined by what was in it, the ambient temperature of the warehouse, and the size of the barrel, etc. Too many variables to have a flat standard.
So are you meaning, starting in traditional used bourbon barrels and then using two "finishing" barrels? If so, I don't know of any off the top of my head. Although there are a few that are using different finished whisky that is then blended back together. But nothing single malt.
You mentioned "10 other bourbons" you'd go to (in the $50 price range) before the Noah's Mill. What are they so that I can start to track them down. I know little about what to buy when I'm faced with selecting among 100 bottles so your reco's would be much appreciated. Good call on the tasting notes BTW. I really like this bourbon at that proof.
Chris Lemmon if you ever tour the Bourbon Capital of Bardstown KY the restaurant at Bottle and Bond makes one! I’ve never had it because I get lost in their neat offerings every time I go but I have friends out of town that will make the trip to get one!
noahs mill reminds me when my mom if i said something bad she would put a bar of soap in my mouth like ivory or another cheap hand soap wish i told have tasted it before i bought it
figbag The Rowan comment is not to be snippy! Folks in KY love their history! The Rowan family , John Rowan in particular, owned Federal Hill which is today called My Old Kentucky home, which is of course the inspiration for our state song! Our bourbon is tied to our history! We are just protective of it that’s all! 😉
While I appreciate the educated pallet comments about peppermints, roasted peanuts, and other sophisticated tongue comments.....personal taste is well......personal. I like this bourbon. It has a bite. It has a place. Unlike swill like Jim Beam and Wild Turkey. $50 a bottle. Pffffffft, Id pay that much to watch a monkey hump a football. This is very good albeit unusual bourbon.
Pretty please, can you concentrate on the review and less on ranting? It's the nmpth episode I lost interest because I can't find the usefull information because SO MUCH RANTING!
the older noah mill was 100 times yummier . I dont lik the 2018 2019 2020 not good vintage or release . if ever can locate one from 2010 and under , OMG , Its better than pappy 10
Cheers if you came back because of the Glen Grant 12 review.
You know it
Yep
8:13 if anyone needs the stamp
Now I am wondering what style guide Rex used to fix that beard on his face from back then.
I did a few days ago and just got some Noah’s mill bc the brand was lodged in my brain. Yes, cinnamony - but beautiful bouquet of vanilla perfume onthe nose.
In my opinion this is an AMAZING whiskey when you add one of those round ice cubes…. It cleans it up just enough. It’s AMAZING!!!
watching this in 2022 and the henry mckenna 10 year reference for picking up under 50 dollars is hilarious. that's never going to happen again
hahahaha
What did the buffalo say to his son when he dropped him off at school? Bison.

Hardest I laughed at a YT whisky video in months. Thanks Rex.
Triplecap! Good to see you in the comments again.

Even without me finding out from you that it was a blend of different aged bourbons, it definitely had a complexity that contains a wonderful blend of the excitement of youth, and the wisdom that comes with age.
Also it's cool that you're open about counseling. That's hard man.
Best Manhattan I've ever made was with Noah's Mill, and I muddled a cherry in the shaker before I poured the Noah's Mill in
In past years this has been a fun bourbon adventure since you never know what taste profile you would get, but the last bottle I purchased was so cinnamon heavy as to be almost undrinkable. I brought it out for a tasting and to a person no one could stand it.
Just bought this due to having a new born named Noah. Going to save it for him
May buy another to taste
“Type words on the place that likes words on the UA-cams” 🤣
I learned the other day that Rowan's creek was named after the creek that kept their property safe during the Heaven Hill fire. Super great folks at Willett...
I love the original Noah's Mill 15 year old and glad I bought a case of it before it disappeared!

LOL... well that was an interesting review of Noah's Mill... !!! ... 🤣

New subscriber to the channel and the whistle pig story was pure comedic genius. Well played sir, well played.
Love Noah’s Mill
Would love to see more willet bourbons maybe the reserve.
Sounds really good. This is not something we have everyday. In fact we might only get a couple bottles at a time.
love your review gents. like that you have some fun while you do them.
Slaint'e
Corey Martin - Big Poppa, Thanks man. Glad you're with us.
Recomended by a freind in the states. Have yet to purchase but really want to try a bottle
What a great story please tell me more
Peppermint paddy is what I always get off this
I know the true origins of Whistle Pig, & wish I didn't because your "origin story" is the best.
I'm going to avoid the actual origin story because this one was great.
Found your comments onn thhe Glenmorangie Maderia Cask interesting. Have to rank Maderia cask scotchs as Balvenie Maderia first, Klichoman Maderia second, Pendlyn third Welsh, then Glenmorangie.
Kilchoman is my first. But I dig the Balvenie as well.
@whiskeyvault Daniel! Rex! You gotta do a flavor drift and update on the Noah's Mill!
If you had to buy a bottle of this ($50+ near me) or Rowans creek (mid $30's) which would you buy. Knowing also how you found that water really helps the Rowans?
Here's to perseverance!
Row en creek, separate Willett and heaven hill. The creek caught on fire in the hg fire. Saved willett.
« Out of spite » hahahaha thanks Daniel xD

Kotzebue internet is brutal guys. I really want to hear an episode about the different areas of whiskey and what they all tend to impart!
“Why did the Clydesdale give the pony a glass of water? Because he was a little horse!”
Noah's Mill - Kentucky Straight Bourbon. 78-95$ in Denmark.
Damn it's 44 here California
I vote that this would be amazing in eggnog.
I think I like this one more than Rowan’s creek but it might be a bit too sweet as a regular whiskey. I could see it as a situational type of drink.
Since finishing the aging process in a different barrel, for example sherry, changes the overall flavor profile, could you(in theory) finish the whisky in whatever you want? Or are there things you should avoid? For example are there any good brandy-finished whiskies?

I get a massive, dried herbal flavor. (Dried parsley)
2017 bottling is the best so far
great videos, you should do a rating on each bottle
Rex started rating the between 1 and 5 fucks and one point, but we had to bleep it all out ;-)
I'm glad you didn't go with that rating system. I also tried it and soon learned I had no more 'fucks' to give!
My favorite bourbon
Hey guys. Can you give your bottle of Brenne a go?
We did! Ages ago! ua-cam.com/video/TDs9YwxJR4g/v-deo.html
The Story of WhistlePig 8:10 mark
Andrew Harrison best version ever.
have you done a video on bulleit?
Not yet!
I have a bottle and I haven't opened it yet.... now I am very tempted.... only thing is that it was a bitch to get....
I get black tea and honey with the cinnamon.
You mentioned "10 other bourbons" you'd go to (in the $50 price range) before the Noah's Mill. What are they so that I can start to track them down.

Went to Willet's in January. I liked the pot still Bourbon better than Noah's Mill
I love this shiz
Better than Blanton’s. Higher proof and more flavor for around the same price.
Found it...
Damn, that’s fucked up Rex 😂
Whiskey milkshake, anyone?

Kinda get sidetracked too easy

Trouble pronouncing Rowan's Creek a?
That's almost as bad as calling a praline a type of nut?!
Daniel should think about doing these reviews on his own...
These days I think this is a budget bourbon
Pretty please, can you concentrate on the review and less on ranting? It's the nmpth episode I lost interest because I can't find the usefull information because SO MUCH RANTING!

Smells like wet dog.
