Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon (2018 Release)

Corn, maple syrup/vanilla, and smoky wood on the nose. I disagree with the expert on the taste. As I gave this the old Kentucky chew and swallowed it, the maple syrup showed up in a big way. Yes, there is plenty of spice to go with it, but this is still a very sweet and syrupy bourbon. Oak joins for the finish. You can tell it’s a bit on the younger side, but the toasted barrel finish adds more than enough to elevate it. This is a solid four stars and a little extra. I would continue to buy at retail every chance I get.

nutty and savory sweetness on the palette and nose with a touch of baking spice.
