Michter's US*1 American Whiskey

Easy. Think of a campfire marshmallow that cot crispy on the edges and gooey on the inside. My GoTo

Delicious, smooth

Nose— soft caramel with a hint of vanilla buttercream 1st taste- oh my! Smooth, buttery, light creamy mouthful, light spice. 2nd taste- Damn! As good as the first … consistency in taste buttery smooth (tea like) then a slight Kentucky hug This bourbon (whiskey) is well worth the purchase, very good even at the low proof. .. dangerously smooth. I can see purchasing another bottle.

MICHTER’S AMERICAN WHISKEY BATCH 2212937 I love how Brown-Foreman really pushes boundaries with Mashbills, Barreling, and Blending. A trend that has even trickled down to their Flagship Jack Daniels line. This is one of their more interesting ventures and I’ve been looking forward to finding a bottle and sampling. *NOSE: Sawdust, Brown Sugar, Bananas Foster, Hints of Fresh Latex Paint, and Black Pepper. *NEAT: This is REALLY good. Buttery in texture, it’s Delicate but Complex. There are no Spikes or Hard Edges here, the flavors are all Full & Rounded. This is a Monet or Rubens, not a Picasso or Braque. Vanilla, Caramel, Buttercream Icing, Cream Soda, and Light Coconut with some Mild Tannins showing up on the backend. Smooth, Easy Finish with a surprising KYHug that slowly blooms in the chest. There is a pleasant layering coating of No. 2 Pencil and Cherry Vanilla Coke. *SPLASH: A few drops of water brings out Cocoa Powder on the Nose, and Cocoa, Oak, and Black Pepper Spice on the Palate. *VERDICT: I know we’re not supposed to say this word to describe whiskey, but at the risk of losing any whiskey cred I might have gained over the years, here goes… Smooth. And when I say Smooth, I mean Ultra Smooth. Without being boring. That’s an accomplishment. And if that’s not your thing, add a drop or two of water to release some oils and get a little spice. Definitely the class of the Michter’s line for me so far (going to get a backup for this bottle before they are gone) and up there with some of the best Brown-Foreman I’ve had.

Very one dimensional but damn smooth. Butterscotch. Vanilla and caramel.
