Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon (2021 Release)

Tried neat. On the nares I get black tea, caramel, cinnamon, candied pecans. On the palate it’s woody and I get the toast. Very smooth finish with notes of vanilla

Nose: lots of caramel and vanilla on the nose. Marshmallow with a thin cherry candied shell. Very faint hint of oak. Later brown sugar. Really great nose Body: medium Palate: white pepper immediately less of the vanilla and caramel from the nose and more of the sugary sweet fruity flavors. Some barrel char smokiness but more candied citrus fruit sweetness. Little bit of oak on the last sip Finish: long but more like a candied orange and not smokey but very long and very nice. And as I sit with it I realize the finish is really long and I really like that. Just let the whiskey hang around for minutes after a sip. Note: a sample from 1010. Very much looking forward to trying this. Tried neat. The finish kind of reminds me of the orange flavor I get on the palate of this years old Fitz 14. This is a very sweet whiskey. I really like this. Almost love it but doesn’t have the smokiness and fullness that I really love. It has a long lasting sweetness that I really like. Delicious. 2023 michigan trip, opened a bottle bought in wisconsin. Its good not great. Im getting loads of cherry and wood. Its not out of a snifter though. I like it but was a little disappointed. I forgot ive already had this. Anyway fun to drink with the boys.

Amazing what the toasted barrel did to mellow this out. More caramel and vanilla in the nose, no citrus like the I toasted version, bite is gone, now very smooth, great Viscous body, hints of smoke and root beer on the palette, baking spices move in like ginger and licorice, then the toast and peanut comes in. Finish medium to long finish that is dry and oaky, warm. Excellent barrel finish
