General description

A bit pricey, worth trying though. This one had a "musty" nose and flavor I thought, with nice baking spices and a bit of a bite at first. I preferred this one mixed rather than sipped which disappointed me for the price. Not my favorite but only because I prefer different flavor notes than this one offered.

Spice intensely with strong heat at the beginning to the end, with a longish finish. Instant acid digestion.

General description

This is very good bourbon. This is my first tasting of a Willett product. Very interesting and new to my taste buds. This is not in my normal flavor profile. A very fresh change. I wish this was available in North Carolina. I can't wait to crack my bottle of Noah's Mill that lingers in my collection.

General description

Rowen's is sourced, not sure from where bc this has heavy oaky nose and early palate, very prominent. Spicy and oaky but reveals nice density of mid-palate that is missing in something like EH Taylor Single barrel which is comparable at 100 proof. Add a bit of water to smooth things out.

General description

Ok sipper. Pretty unexciting, I think it would be a great mixer if you were looking for a woody, spicy button to mix with. Notes of light, sweet vanilla, that builds to a nice cinnamon burn and leaves you with a woody aftertaste.

Nose

Vanilla, lightly sweet, cinnamon, woody

Palate

Slick mouth feel, heat slowly builds to a cinnamon bite, slightly sweet

Finish

Wood tannin, charred bark, heat sticks around

General description

I usually enjoy high ABV bourbon. Unfortunately, this bourbon is too aggressive neat for my liking. Once I hit it with some water the flavors were able to come out and I was able to enjoy the dram. I'm guessing there is significant rye in the Mash Bill. If that's your thing, then you might enjoy the whiskey. Not on my buy again list.

Smells of green apple, and after the first sip you smell the (fake) cinnamon. Taste is hot and (fake) cinnamon, like Red Hots as someone mentioned.

Nose

Apple, red hots

Palate

Red hots

Finish

Oak

The comment about Noah's watered is spot on.
That's why you can stand in the same place and see both rowan's creek and Noah's Mill. I think it's a smart buy for the price.

Take a bottle of Noah's Mill and water it down and I think you'd end up with Rowan's Creek. Both are good, this one gives a bit more rye.

First bourbon I have ever tried, I have always been a scotch drinker, has a sweet taste and smooth, don't get me wrong it does have a very nice fire going down but very drinkable. I am giving it a 90 out of 100 for now because I have nothing to compare it to bourbon wise.

for 100 proof it remains smooth. The burn its smooth and refreshing at the same time. This to me is a bourbon that can really sneak up on you, especially like last night at the fire pit.
