Michter's US*1 Unblended American Whiskey

70CL - 41.7% ABV

Michter’s US*1 Unblended American Whiskey is a truly unique, quality whiskey from the Michter’s distillery that utilises only the finest ingredients and traditional techniques. This whiskey is not categorised as a bourbon as it isn’t aged in new oak but rather “bourbon-soaked” barrels that have previously held Michter’s 10 Year Old Bourbon. This maturation adds a richness and sweetness to the whiskey which displays notes of butterscotch, ripe fruits, maple syrup and a hint of crème brulée.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Quite sweet on the nose, with stone fruits, barrel char and a creamy, buttery note. There’s also sweet spices and orange citrus aromas.

Palate

Pleasant spiciness, predominantly tobacco and leather, while butterscotch and caramel sweetness balances everything, as does the soft fruit and oaky notes.

Finish

Medium length, with the spices lingering the longest.

Comment

A well-balanced whiskey that starts with layers of aromatic fruit, then is bolstered with toasty spice. Easy to drink.
