Michter's US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey

👃 smells like bourbon. Nothing special here, but nothing offensive either. 👄 This is the highlight. A little spicy, but we've got cinnamon, vanilla, and (strangely enough) watermelon. 👋 This one really takes you on a journey. Picks up where the mouthfeel left off, but ends up in a very different place. I guess this is why they call it sour mash... The finish is a pretty weird... Sour... Taste

Wow. This is nice, smooth, and leaves a pleasant aftertaste in the mouth. I can see now why my liquor store limited 1 bottle per customer. I will definitely make sure I keep a bottle of this in my cabinet to pour a glass for guests after dinner.

Immediately on the nose their are some delicious notes of cherries, vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon. The palate is disappointingly muted compared to the nose. Notes of vanilla and some oak spice come through, but disappear quickly. The taste of the finish also fades quickly, but there is an interestingly long Kentucky hug in your chest that lingers afterwards. Overall, a nice easy sipper, but not something I would rush to buy again.
