Flavor Profile Differences
The house grain character is what splits these.
- E.H. Taylor Jr. Small Batch: Bottled-in-bond from the same low-rye Buffalo Trace recipe, and the extra 10 proof over standard BT gives it noticeably more grip. Butterscotch and tobacco with a long, drying finish that outlasts most bottles near its shelf price.
- 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 E.H. Taylor Jr. Small Batch if you want the Buffalo Trace house profile with real structure and a bonded 100-proof backbone.
- Go with Noah's Mill if you want a high-proof, nutty, jammy Willett bourbon with a bone-dry finish without hunting for it.
