Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon (2020 Release)

Tasting- 2 oz. In glen cairn neat, and then 2 oz with 2 drops of water. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, cherry, and marshmallow with oak and light sawdusty woodshop. Palate: A butterscotch bomb! Tastes like those yummy yellow candies and caramel-vanilla cremes. Their is oak in the background, and a hint of nutmeg on the finish. This is a liquid candy bowl Finish: Medium and warming. That butterscotch stays on the tongue and leaves you wanting more with a hint of nutmeg to round it all out.. Overall- Big fan of this one! Super sippable and has all the flavors of grandma's candy dish without cloying sweetness. The texture is velvety smooth and buttery. I love what Michter's does with the low 103 entry proof. It adds incredible texture and layers of flavor without all of the water. This may have been a 5/5 for me if it was higher in proof. I am not complaining about it at all, it is jist that water seemed to thin it a bit, and I like to dial my bourbon in to my liking. That said....the 94.4 proof from the bottle hit the spot perfectly. $130 is a high pricetag to pay, but if you got it, do not hesitate to use it to grab a spectacular bourbon.

Lots of caramel, vanilla, and oak on the nose. Hits your tongue warm, soft, light and buttery. Flavors of deep caramel and slight spice. Very smooth. Long finish.

Damn good. Vanilla. Smooth
