Tasting Notes

"Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon presents with lots of prickly barrel spices on the nose with some cedar present. The wood is definitely the star player here. A touch of coconut is present and some vanilla, but not as much sweetness as other Michter's marques. The bourbon is a bit raw on the mid palate, imagine a heavy-duty rope. It improves on the finish and would please those that are after a less sweet bourbon and more of a spiced experience. "
