Mic Drop 4 Year Straight Bourbon (L19-01)

Sweet with a Lil heat on the backend.

Delicious. Tropical fruits and bubble gum. On the edge between 4.25 and 4.5.

Heavy alcohol on the nose. Palate does have a sweet maple and somewhat fruity taste going for it, but you can also taste the youth. The finish I was not a fan of, not sure what it is, but it’s almost like licorice. Definitely not worth the price, but now that I own it will keep testing to see if I warm up to it. Worst case will make a solid mixer.

Smells young, but less so on the palate (although young notes are still there). Intense heat. Cherry syrup lingers. 10/12/19

Neat. Neck pour. Nose is hot on approach. Let it open up for a bit. Nose gives tons of vanilla and butterscotch. Fresh grass and pepper on the back. Vanilla frosting as I spend time with it. Creamy texture, powdered sugar on the tongue. Gives way to more vanilla, hint of mint, hint of bubble gum. Slight slight hint of spice. Then decent legs of vanilla and that bubble gum. Pepper really gives a good burn the more I drink it. A few sips in gave me an intense Kentucky hug. It very enjoyable but the age definitely holds it back from being a special MGP. I prefer my Backbone Store Pick (4.5 years) over this.

Light and sweet at first and then a big, high rye, high proof burn that hits every corner of your mouth. Definitely lives up to its moniker.
