Michter’s Distillery – ‘Toasted Barrel Finish US*1’ Kentucky Straight Bourbon (750ML)
Introduced to great acclaim in the Fall of 2014, Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon is a groundbreaking whiskey expression. It is made by taking Michter’s US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon and then aging it for an additional period in a second custom made barrel. This second barrel is assembled from 18-month air-dried wood and then toasted but not charred. The truly unique and delicious taste of Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon represents a remarkable achievement given that it is Kentucky Straight Bourbon with nothing extra added or done except placement in a second toasted barrel.
Tasting Notes:
Nose – A complex blend of earthy oak, cedar, and lemon peel, with layers of milky caramel and spiced cardamom.
Taste – Light and refreshing, featuring honey syrup and floral notes of cardamom, rosewater, and a hint of pistachio ice cream.
Finish – A lingering, semi-dry finish marked by toasted oak and cardamom, offering a floral sweetness that remains on the palate.
Additional Notes:
Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey 700ml is a small-batch, limited quantity whiskey that is distilled and bottled in Kentucky. This unique whiskey is made by taking Michter’s award-winning US1 Sour Mash Whiskey and ageing it for an additional period of time in a second custom-made barrel.
