Tasting: 2 finished whiskeys from Noble Oak (Double Oak Bourbon, Double Oak Rye). whiskey cocktails bourbon
Sometimes, when a whiskey pitch ends up in my inbox, I know that it will end up being an interesting tasting regardless of the relative quality of the spirit, simply because of the novel techniques, or mission, of the distillery in question. Noble Oak Whiskey is absolutely one of those situations–a company with an absolutely commendable ethos and mission, coupled with a decidedly unusual way of making bourbon and rye whiskey.
On the whiskey aging side, meanwhile, Noble Oak Whiskey is effectively trying to transform young bourbon and young rye into something more than how it began. They say they source their spirit from a “partner location” in Indiana, which almost certainly means MGP, but notably the label does not read as “straight bourbon” or rye, meaning this spirit may possibly be under two years of age, and definitely less than 4.
At the same time, I think Noble Oak should get some credit for genuinely transforming the spirit they’ve been given, because this doesn’t really seem like young MGP bourbon to me. It’s been made more mature, but also slightly uncanny at the same time.Noble Oak’s rye whiskey gets the port cask stave treatment rather than the sherry cask one, and it gets a nice bump in proof point at the same time as well.
