Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

Caramel on the nose. Smooth up front. Subtle spice and hints of savory nutty flavor.

Reviewing the Fall 2019 release, barrel# 19H2420 Color is warm mahogany, lots of thin, streaky legs after a quick swirl. Nose leads with Toffee, vanilla, red apples, cherry, a spearmint/evergreen note and varnished oak Palate starts with brown sugar, then spearmint and some indeterminate fruit. The mint note lingers as the baking spice comes in on the mid palate. Those flavors linger into the finish where they're joined by vanilla and oak. The finish is fairly nice especially given the relatively low proof. This is a big improvement over the 2018 bottle I tried at a restaurant last year. Still not worth secondary prices, but if you can find a bottle a retail it's worth considering.

Smooth with great flavors of spice and vanilla. Excellent!

Complex, wood and apple forward bourbon. I came into this with somewhat low expectations, but left stunned snd with two additional bottles in my cart. A standout example of what bourbon is and should always be.
