Flavor Profile Differences
Nutty, grain-driven character is the divider.
- New Riff Bottled-in-Bond: At 30% rye this is about as spice-forward as bourbon gets before becoming rye whiskey. Peppery and herbal with mint and dill, non-chill-filtered for texture, and noticeably dry rather than sweet.
- 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 New Riff Bottled-in-Bond if you want aggressive rye spice and a dry, herbal profile from a modern craft distillery at a lower price point.
- Go with Noah's Mill if you want a high-proof, nutty, jammy Willett bourbon with a bone-dry finish.
