Michter's US*1 American Whiskey

Light and vanilla on the nose with fruity and slight maraschino cherry taste. A nice change up from traditional bourbon. Pretty good!

The nose has a distinct minty/herbal character. Prickly orange rind spice. A mild gasoline/fusel burn. It's as if the bitters have already been added. As it mellows, mild vanilla, maple and caramel; the vanilla pops with a droplet. Thick oily legs trickle down the inside of the glass. The taste is a wonderful barrel char at first: bitter and sharp on the sides of the tongue. More of that orange peel. Salt and pepper spices. The tannins from the barrel a pucker and a sharp bite. The dry barrel char really dominates, with some touches of apple skins, pear and even banana cream pie. Black tea. The finish is charcoal embers, tobacco ash and a mint/menthol coolness. The char burn never truly subsides, just turns the volume down. This is just chock full of roasty, dry flavors.

Such sweet and rich butterscotch flavour in this amazing whiskey it's so unique and delicious
