Michter's US*1 American Whiskey

August 13, 2021

1.5 stars - Nice, but flawed; 750 ml bottle Good Michter’s flavor but with an odd, sour tang. Like it was 3% vinegar. Seeing all the great reviews, and given my experiences with other Michter’s products, I think I got a bad bottle.

The nose opens up with loads of butterscotch, vanilla, and granny smith apples. The palate brings more of the vanilla, along with some caramel and a delightful amount of heat and spice, along with a somewhat thin, but still oily mouthfeel. The finish is quick with a quick flash of spice with the only drawback being that it leaves your mouth a bit dry. Overall a slightly better than average daily sipper that will never disappoint.
