Noah's Mill

Noah's Mill is a bourbon produced in Bardstown, Kentucky by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (KBD). The bourbon was originally aged in charred oak barrels until mature at 15 years old, however the current bottles contain no age statement. It is bottled by hand at 57.15% ABV (114.3 proof).

Noah’s Mill is produced by Kentucky Bourbons Distillers (KBD) which operates out of the Willett distillery. Interestingly however, most of the brands that are owned by KBD do not actually identify KBD or Willett as the producing company on their labels. For instance on the Noah’s Mill bottle it is marked as being produced by Noah’s Mill Distilling Company. The Gents are sure there is a good reason for this, we're just not clever enough to figure out what it is.

Noah’s Mill is one of several small batch offerings by KBD. These include, Rowan’s Creek, Kentucky Vintage and Pure Kentucky to name but a few. As you may be aware the term small batch is a contentious one and also an undefined term, but the number of barrels for this small batch is reportedly as low as 20, which is remarkably low. Originally the bourbon was matured in charred oak barrels for a period of 15 years, however since around 2012 there has been no age statement declared and settles for the wording on the bottle as ‘aged until fully mature’.

The bottle shape is of a conventional wine bottle, with the label designed to look old fashioned with a pencil like drawing of a mill, stream and woodland.
