“This small batch edition Bourbon is exceptionally smooth, reminiscent of a high-end brandy with distinct vanilla and caramel aromas, but without the overwhelming lingering taste that brandy typically imparts. It possesses a distinct Bourbon flavor, and now this has become one of my personal favorites.”

Description

The US*1 Bourbon from Michter's in Louisville, Kentucky, is made in small batches, typically comprised of no more than two dozen barrels. Top quality stuff, brimming with caramel, vanilla and fruit notes, alongside a pleasing earthy quality at its core.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Rich layers of vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate buttons, and buttered corn, with sweet oak char in support.

Palate

Layers of buttery caramel, soft peach, and apricot, with a warming touch of nutmeg and pepper mellowed by creamy melted chocolate and oaken vanilla.

Finish

Fruity with lingering notes of stone fruits, a touch of apple, more chocolate, honeyed almonds, buttery oak, and balanced peppery heat.

Tasty and satisfying, should be smoother for the price

This is one of the best bourbons I've tasted with nice deep vanilla/ spice flavours, but there's a bit of a burn to it, which compromises it's smoothness and which renders it in the 'slightly overpriced/ overrated' category. Maybe it's down to the strength (45.7 %), but it definitely needs to be taken with a few drops of water. Worth buying again? Yes, though I'd sooner buy Four Roses Single Barrel, Elijah Craig Small Batch, and possibly Knob Creek (and also save a few bob in the process.)
