A previous favorite, 100 Mill Street is back with new batches of the annual, micro batch, maple sap gin. Hailing from bottle #127 in Batch 06, this Minneapolis native spirit is produced entirely from Wisconsin maple sap - an expensive and novel base sugar to distill from. Let's get to it.
Bright, loaded with grapefruit, lemon, peach and a healthy dose of savory richness. Confectioners sugar, cream and honey. Rich peppercorns on the nose, decadent vanilla cream. Lovely.
Medium on the palate, sweet and complex. Rich and savory, tons of citrus character and a meaty sweetness. Pepper, honey, rising sourdough and lemon curd.
Long finish, a bit more peppercorn than the palate, with an infusion of juniper that works well with both the fruit character and the savory umami.
Batch to batch variation is always a question in my mind when tasting generation, new releases, but Batch 06 is just as good as Batch 01, though quite a bit different. More fruit, cream and decadent citrus than Batch 01, but the same powerful savory backbone holds things together with excellence. Lordie, what a gin.
