Michter's US*1 American Whiskey

Nose: vanilla, brown sugar and cherries Taste: smooth, brown sugar & caramel a taste of oak creeps in while holding and barrel tennis that end with a taste of cherries Overall: a very smooth whiskey with many bourbon notes that are subtle due to them using used bourbon barrels instead of new charred barrels. Great complexity within the whiskey that is topped off with supreme drinkability due to how smooth it is wether it’s your first drink of the night or last. Both a great spirit for an introduction to bourbons or for an experienced whiskey drinker to enjoy.

Coming back to this one for a second time (second bottle) Bought this one straight from the distillery in Louisville Kentucky. Sourced whiskey from MGP. We won’t see actual Michters distilled spirits for a couple years. Even though it sourced, the whiskey is still one of my favorites. They choose their mash bill from MGP very carefully. Nose: vanilla and lots of it. Followed closely by cinnamon, caramel, cane sugar, barrel tannins, and cherries. Taste: cinnamon brown sugar, vanilla extract, sweet savory barrel spice fades into a sweet caramel cherry note. Extremely reminiscent of warm cherry cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is probably the most friendly American whiskey I have ever had. It’s on par with the easiness of a nice Speyside or highland scotch. This will always be one of my go to’s for a nice, easy, flavorful drinker. Michters...I cannot wait to try whiskey you guys have actually distilled and aged yourselves!!
