[Producer] Kentucky Bourbon Distillers [About the Producer] 
The Willett family distillers has a long history in the craft of distillation. Originally the Willett family brought their knowledge with them from England to the American Colonies in the early 1600’s. Before coming to the colonies they distilled brandy in France. The family settled in Bardstown, Nelson County in Kentucky and were involved with developing several of the most famous distilleries of the area. During Prohibition, the Willett family raised hogs and cattle at the farm in Bardstown. In 1935, the Willett distillery was erected on the farm, by Lambert Willett, father of Thompson Willett, founder of the Willett Distilling Company. In the beginning of 1936, the Willett Distilling Company produced its first batch of 300 bushels (~30 barrels) on March 17th, 1936. The newly barreled whiskey was stored in one of the eight warehouses. The warehouses were built on some of the highest ground in the county, assuring that a fresh breeze would aid in the maturation of the whiskey. Five years after the foundation of the Willett Distilling Company Lambert retired from the Max Selliger & Co. to manage his farm and oversee the distilling process. The Willett Distilling Company continued to operate until the early 1980’s. The Willett’s had made their mark on the Bourbon industry and it was now time for them to retire. On July 1, 1984, Even G. Kulsveen (pronounced Evan), a native of Hamar, Norway, and son-in-law to Thompson Willett, purchased the property from the Willett’s and formed Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, Ltd. Even Kulsveen continues to operate at the facility to this day Noah’s Mill Aged in wooden barrels, bottled by hand at 57.15% alc./vol. (114.3 proof) Noah’s Mill Genuine Bourbon Whiskey is handmade in the hills of Kentucky. This is a Bourbon of extraordinary character and smoothness not found among younger whiskies. Its superior taste and flavor characteristics are made possible only from using the very finest quality ingredients at the outset along with the long years and patience necessary for nature to mellow everything to perfection. We bottle this Bourbon at a strength that best compliments its age, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it like no other Bourbon. Rowan’s Creek Rowan’s Creek is stored in charred oak barrels. It is hand bottled at 50.05% alc./vol. (100.1 proof). Rowan’s Creek is made and bottled by hand, in small lots, one batch at a time. This Bourbon takes its namesake from the creek that still runs through our distillery. Back in the late 1700’s when John Rowan first settled around Bardstown , whiskey makin’ was the order of the day. John went on and made a name for himself as a well respected judge and statesmen. The judge is long since gone, but the creek that still bears his name is still carrying the best limestone spring water there ever was for making good Bourbon, so you know the whiskey makin’ is still going on. Try a sip of it, straight up in a snifter, or add a dab of branch water if you like. Either way, it’s the very best there is.
