Flavor Profile Differences
The house grain character is what splits these.
- 1792 Small Batch: Barton's flagship and one of the most under-discussed bottles at its price. A high-rye character with cocoa and orange peel, and considerably more going on than the shelf position suggests.
- Noah's Mill: A high-proof Willett blend with a lot of nutty and fruity character. Peanut, golden raisin and jam make it taste like peanut butter and jelly, and it finishes very dry.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with 1792 Small Batch if you want an overlooked, spice-forward Kentucky bourbon that punches above its price.
- Go with Noah's Mill if you want a high-proof, nutty, jammy Willett bourbon with a bone-dry finish.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks, old-fashioned (1792 Small Batch); neat (Noah's Mill).
