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

Tasting neat. Unsure of the release year but is the toasted barrel at 86 proof. Pleasant nose, sweet tones, molasses perhaps. Mellow flavors, very smooth and creamy. For 86 proof, has a nice small bite with it. Sits well.

Strong oak on the nose. The palate tastes like toasted marshmallows. Very good. Sweet and easy to drink. Short finish. It’s a buy at retail. Would not pay secondary.

Excited to review a Whiskey which Bobby Axelrod from the tv series "BILLIONS" always drinks. I believe this is the best american whiskey i have ever tasted (excluding bourbons). Bottled at 43% with a russetmuscat color On the nose is nice, complex. Starts very sweet, with sugar, bananas, powdered sugar, and if you let it breath a little it will become fruity and citric, with orange and lemon peel notes. Finally it mutates to lemon pie. On the palate is FANTASTIC. i even gave it a 27 over 25 to throw some extra points in there. Oranges, apricots, pleasant oakyness, ginger, pepper, some smoke, very thick very chewable. Finish is short but amazing. Like an instant ginger bomb, enjoyable. Overall i give this beauty a score of 97 over 100 and i recommend it.
