Noah's Mill

Very nice review, indeed. I do believe the score to be somewhat high, though. When I compare all three notes (yours, About Choice's and my own), it is clear we all like it very much and enjoy it, but the scores range from 88 to 92 to 96. That's quite a difference. Is this really worth 96 to you? That would mean this is one of the ultra very best experiences you've ever had... seems a bit unlikely, hence my question.

Hi Mark. Thx for your kind words. It's hard to compare our scores I beliefe. You for example already tasted hundreds of whiskies. I am still quite new to the topic. That being said it is a special dram for me because it's my first good Bourbon. So for me it is indeed one of the very best experiences I've ever had.

To take this in mind I could have rated this lower, just to let there more space to the top. But I also didn't give it the max. score ;)

Maybe I could rate it a little lower but it is definitely a 92+ for me!

Wills, that's fine, my friend. I was not critisizing. This seems to be indeed a very nice experience for you. Keep it up. You are clearly getting into this wonderful world of whisky. I applaud you for your interest and eagerness. Keep up the spirit (pun intended)! I may have tasted over 1000 whiskies already, but I am still very much a learner myself.

Haha great, I just noticed that spirit-pun by myself yesterday when I was posting something on a discussion.

May the Schalk be with you! :)

Btw. it would be no problem at all if you wanna give some constructive criticism. I am here to learn! Also my english is in need of improvement, don't hesitate to correct me.

And for the info 'Schalk' is german for something like a joker. There is this older german byword "den Schalk im Nacken haben". Don't know if you ever heard this in Belgium.

Great review, @Wills! It'll be interesting to see how your American whiskey palate develops with time. Perhaps Noah's Mill will continue to reign supreme, perhaps not, but it ought to be an adventure, nevertheless.

Thanks a lot @dbk. Indeed, time will tell. I definitely have to plumb something next: Try the Rye. But that's another story.

Nice review, it sure got me more curious about bourbon. I'm only starting to scratch the surface of what Japan and Scotland has got to offer but wanna explore more different whiskies too. Now I'm definitely thinking American.

Wills, how dare you do this to me... I was plenty content exploring just Scotch Whisky, then all of a sudden I start reading views of Irish, Canadian, Bourbon.... Dangit!

Oh well, I guess there's just more to try. ;)

Nice thing that you like the review and I could smooth the way to get you into bourbons. Mission accomplished :)

@Wills Yeah thanks, I think it was this review that triggered the start of my bourbon quest.
