Batch No. 19L2271 I've never had Michter's, it typically flies off the shelves in ABC stores and only the rye remains. It was all over TV last year on Billions and Jessica Jones, so clearly they're marketing this heavily. Because I generally love Brown-Forman products, I decided to pick this up for pandemic sipping. The nose is subtle and muted. I get light notes of oak, caramel, and banana, but it's hard to pick out anything without a few swirls in the glass. It definitely tastes like Brown-Forman on the tongue. But it is still muted, likely due to proof and chill filtration. It almost tastes like a charcoal filtered whiskey. Dusty corn notes pop on the tongue reminding me of George Dickel. The finish is short-medium, nothing but oak and a little pepper lingers. I can see why this is popular. It is eminently drinkable. For me, that only goes so far when it comes to whiskey. I want more complexity and flavor, and this has the bones of other whiskeys I like much more from Brown-Forman. For $2 more I can buy Old Forester 1897. Or for $19 less I can buy Old Forester Signature 100. This is an overpriced whiskey considering what I can get in this price range. As a hypothetical, if this was $10 cheaper I'd lean more towards rating this a 3.75 or 4.0. I see its value as a bourbon to ween someone off of drinking on the rocks, it is that smooth and sweet. It is a nice, recognizable bottle and would make a good gift.
