Spicy peach bomb

Absolutely insane mouth feel and viscocity on a pour. Easily in my top three whiskies ever if not number one. Was very lucky to try and obtain a bottle at the distillery.

Similar to a booker’s but sweeter. Peanut brittle bomb and delicious

The fresh crack neck pour was pretty good. Hoping the flavors open up and develop some more with air time. I would still honestly say my JD barrel proof rye is better at half the cost. (4 stars) Edit: this one opened up wonderfully and developed a viscous feel. It now far surpasses my best jdbp rye. Easily the best barrel proof rye on the market. Well done Michter’s!

Amazing depth… oak cherry bomb. Bring back old Stagg

Mixer

This one reminded me of a more mature Weller 107 with an insanely long finish. A bit of a one trick pony with a huge cinnamon bomb on the front end that fades to a sweet wheater. The finish however is where this dram makes its money. Easily the longest finish i have had with a bourbon. Worth a pour but not sure i would lose my mind trying to hunt this down especially at secondary prices.

The nose on this one is amazing, dark fruits, powdered sugar sweet. I could nose this pour all day. Palate is just as good with the dark fruits and the wine barrel finish coming through. Finish is lightly spicy and long. I loved the MWND act 11 for the same qualities, however this one surpases it in almost every way. Do yourself a favor and buy a bottle if you can find it at or under $150.

Neck pour. Nose is amazing and really opens up as you let it sit. Palate reminds me of JD triple mash and that is not a bad thing thing by any means. Velvety texture and mouthfeel which distances itself from the triple mash comparison. Definitely some oak on there as well. Worth MSRP but as of now i wouldnt pay over when you can find the triple mash on the shelf for half the price. Loved the batch one 12 year and this one falls short imo. Looking forward to this opening up as i sip over time.

Everything you want in a barrel proof rye
