Michter's is one of these brands that has created a more upscale brand image despite not actually producing its own whiskey. That's changing with the opening of their own distillery in Kentucky, but the current juice all comes from somewhere else. I've heard Heaven Hill or Old Forester, and either make sense to me given the flavor profile. The nose has aromas of cherry, oak, chocolate and vanilla swirl, and wood chips, with a little alcohol heat. It tastes of sweet butterscotch, Werther's candies, mild oak, syrup, and furniture polish. The finish is spicy and hot, full of caramel and coffee, with the most unique note being a grassy parsley, which hints at it being a year or two younger than ideal. At about $35, it's a good bourbon and feels a lot like Elijah Craig Small Batch (which, to be fair, is $5 or so cheaper).
