Michter's 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon (2021 Release)

Came across this at a hotel bar in DC offered as a combo deal with a Pale Ale for $100 less than it went for on its own. Not many chances in ones life to have a Michters 20, so I sprang for it. On the nose, a brown sugar bomb accompanied by oak, vanilla, cinnamon, and baking spices. On the palate, an insanely rich and punchy classic bourbon. A bit drying, considerably oaky, but altogether still magnificent. Wish it had a bit more sweetness and vanilla on the palate, to be expected from the nose, but nitpicking here. Finish is probably still going as you read this by the way, this thing lingers like few others. Was it worth $200? Considering it was 2oz, and a bi-annual release that Ive never seen in the wild before? Absolutely. Ultimately, an incredible end to a memorable day in DC. And to celebrate getting laid just a few hours earlier. Fuck yeah

Is it worth the price, no. Amazing, yes.

Nose of sweet pecans and caramel. Tastes of more sweet notes with a smooth finish. Excellent pour

Impossible to describe, but the richest, fullest flavor bourbon I’ve had. Excellent notes of brown sugar, caramel, hint of oak and creamy vanilla. Coats palate and glass.
