100 Mill Street has been one of my favorite gins in the past - an incredibly unique blend of citrus, maple, umami and well, juniper. Some time ago, Peter - the owner of 100 Mill Street - asked if I thought that elevating the proof of gin was good or bad and I encouraged him to consider the madness of something jacked up. Fast forward some time later and this past holiday season, the Limited Edition release of 100 Mill Street was born - a 55% bottling in 375ml releases. Y’all know how much I love small bottling releases of LE, so I was anxious to give this a go!
Pungent citrus, maple, honey, cream and some light berry. The savory elements are a little it restrained here, sharing the spotlight equally with some lemon peel, buttercream, icing, blueberry and maple.
Rich and thick on the palate. No sign of heat despite the bump, just a rich, syrupy texture on the palate. Pine, cedar, big hint of juniper pair nicely with maple, rising bread, blueberry and lemon. Extraordinarily complex.
Long finish. Rich once more and powerful. Juniper, citrus, maple, pepper and honey blend for a savory, sweet, enticing endeavor.
I love it. It’s hard to believe the original Mill Street could get better, but gin at 55% ABV can be a beautiful thing. Here’s to hoping this becomes an annual release.
