Mic Drop 8 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Neat. Nose is spicy vanilla caramel. Taste is sweet vanilla caramel that transitions to a long sweet spicy finish. I really like it.

It goes to show that a highly rated whiskey does not automatically mean your going to like it. While I didn’t hate this whiskey, I did find it a little flavorless. No matter how much I searched for the flavors I was getting, nothing really stood out. It just seemed bland to me. It won’t stop me from trying mic drop 2 and 3 though!

Nose- Spiced apples, coconut, caramel, vanilla, freshly toasted oak Palate- Spice and black pepper initially, buttery popcorn, red apples, french vanilla, cherry Finish- Long, bold finish that has a predominant note of black pepper spice with a slight buttery note Mmm. The palate really shines on this one. Nose is very balanced and not bad by any means, but the palate shines here. You’re hit with a wave of spiciness, followed by awesome flavors of popcorn, apples, and cherries. A final wave of spiciness washes over all the fruity flavors and leads to one of the longest finishes i’ve ever had.
