Michter's US*1 Unblended American Whiskey
In stock
Michter’s US *1 Whiskey is aged in refill bourbon barrels - unlike bourbon and rye, which is traditionally aged in new American oak (and a legal requirement for bourbon). Maturing in whiskey-soaked barrels has made this small batch whiskey one of the creamiest, mellow expressions from Michter’s; think vanilla ice cream with cherries and white chocolate.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Soft golden amber with a warm, creamy glow
Nose
Creamy, vanilla-forward aroma with ripe cherry accents and a touch of white chocolate. Whispers of barrel sweetness from whiskey-soaked, refill bourbon casks give a soft, mellow warmth, like a luscious dessert on the nose.
Palate
Silky and creamy on the palate, with a mellow sweetness that sits like vanilla ice cream. Notes of vanilla bean, ripe cherries and white chocolate weave through soft caramel and a kiss of almond spice. Smooth, approachable and well-balanced, the finish lingers with gentle warmth and a refined, cushioned mouthfeel.
Finish
Long, velvety finish with creamy vanilla, cherry sweetness and white chocolate, softly carried on subtle oak. The warmth lingers gently, leaving a dessert-like, mellow impression.
