Intro:
Mic Drop is the brainchild of PM Spirits in New York - taking casks from producers and typically blending them for releases under their own label. This is a 4yr rye, distilled in 2015 by Wilderness Trail.
-
Nose:
Rich clove, honey, toffee, a hit of caramel and musty tobacco. No sign of youth here, which is encouraging.
-
Taste:
Minty and enticing on the palate. Lovely honey, mint, faint pepper, a touch of dill and some sweet cream here. Savory, sweet, spicy, delightful. Not at all youthful which colors me surprised.
-
Finish:
Medium finish - spicy and vegetal with a bit of brown sugar. This is quintessentially rye forward. Boy is it spicy.
-
Overall:
Really damn good for a 4 year old rye. Lots of body, complexity - Wilderness Trail, erm, Mic Drop knocked it out of the park with this for the kind of age. I prefer this to MGP rye around the same age.
