    I love how the crappiest pick is always attributed to Jules. Hilarious. Great twist ending though. Fantastic video. Give us more of these.

    Great video. I like that you blurred the bottles so we'd all be surprised by the reveal too.
    Makers 46 was a great pick.
    I don't know if Target usually has OF1920, but if so, that would probably be the bottle I'd pick.

    Dillon is 100% correct on new versus old Noah’s Mill. Now that Willett is distilling it and not using sourced juice…the quality hasn’t been the same. I had bought a bottle of Noah’s for a friend named Noah and we both dumped out the pours we had.

    As soon as you said something is off with that bottle, I know it had to be that willett funk. I can tell a willet from any other bourbon even with a fried pallette. I grew to like it but I won't pay more than $20 for their young products.
    Noah's Mill used to be great when it was a 15-year heaven hill juice. Now it's way younger willett juice and taste just like old Bardstown 100 proof (which goes for $20 in KY) or any other willett product for that matter.

    I think noahs mill is easily the best one here, that said it really needs to open up. Granted i think makers 46 is gross and buffalo trace is mediocre at best. The targets in my area dont block out their windows at all so a skunked bottle wouldnt surprise me.

    I didn’t know there was an “old” offering of Noah Mill’s, but a friend of mind has a newer bottle of NM. We drank it with my Rowan’s Creek bottle, and found them both to be very different than most bourbons. They had an interesting grain flavor (like a malted barley or a different wheat grain than most bourbons) with lots of cherry cinnamon. We liked them, but we both agreed that if we were blinding them with other bourbons, they’d probably lose because they were so different/off.
    I’m glad MM46 won! That’s one of my favorite offerings at $40 (I live in NC).
    Also... did anyone chuckle a little at 7:18 when Dillion said “black and blue are the same....”... to which I thought, “nope, nope, not in today’s society.” I know it’s tacky and awkward, and I’m not trying to start anything political, I just had a laugh and figured I’d share my quick snarky thought.
    Anyways, great video! I would gladly drink any three of those bottles!!!

    I don't think that Noah's Mill bottle is skunked. Last year, I specifically made a trip down to SC to buy products not sold in NC. That included Noah's Mill, which I was really looking forward to trying. It turned out to be one of the worst bourbons I've had in years. It was grainy, hot, and a mix of sour peanuts and rotten fruit. It took me a long time to kill that bottle, and I used most of it for mixing with ginger beer. Apparently the older age stated bottles were much better. I'll note I also bought Rowan's Creek, which was significantly better and $15 less. It didn't have that sour note at all, and tasted sweeter and older. Who knows what the hell they did to Noah's Mill.

    Telling that once again the most expensive bottle lost outright. In my area, Noah's Mills is twice the price of Maker's 56, and 3X the price of the Buffalo Trace. And does anyone else get a weird dill pickle note (dill + vinegar + coriander) in the Noah's Mills?

    Did it remind you of salted peanuts? Seems to be a stalwart in bourbon tasting game. 'O or salted peanut shells? Let me ask you. What kind of charred barrel would lend that type of tasting note to bourbon? Or do they simply dump salted peanut shells into tha mash and pretend it's coming out of the wood?

      yes - Willett switched to using their own distillate at some point over the past couple of years. The old 15 year Noah's Mill was fantastic - and even after it lost the age statement, it was pretty solid. What is in the bottle now is totally different.
