Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Was expecting this not to be good due to the hype around it, but damn its very good. Starts off spicy and ends spicy but smoother. Great flavor profile and a great pairing with a cigar!

Blind test: Michter’s Small Batch Nose: caramel, brown sugar Taste: caramel, brown sugar but not too sweet, pepper, oak, vanilla. Doesn’t taste/feel high proof. Finish: rather long finish with that brown sugar sweetness, black pepper, plus cinnamon. Overall: some very interesting flavors here. The oak, brown sugar, pepper, and vanilla is an interesting combination. I can’t say I love it, but it is certainly not bad. Score: 3.25/5
