Michter's 2021 Limited Release Toasted Barrel Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
In stock
First introduced to great acclaim in the Fall of 2014, Michter’s US1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon is a groundbreaking whiskey expression. It is made by taking Michter’s US1 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 US1 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
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Warm toasted oak leads the aroma, braided with vanilla, caramel and crème brûlée. Subtle cocoa nib, toffee and amber spice drift in, with hints of dried fruit and espresso. A creamy, refined sweetness lingers, signaling the toasted barrel finish with quiet elegance.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, the palate opens with toasted vanilla and caramel sweetness, widening into maple notes and warm spices. Toasted oak adds a gentle bite and velvet texture, while hints of cocoa and coffee deepen the mid-palate. The finish is long and toasty, with vanilla and oak lingering.
Finish
Long and warm, the finish reveals toasted oak, vanilla and caramel, with a subtle spice that lingers—velvety, balanced, and comforting as the wood echo slowly fades.
