“Super friendly with butterscotch and vanilla, a perfect gateway whiskey.”
Matthew Wallis
Description
This American whiskey from Michter's Distiller in Louisville, Kentucky, is matured in barrels which had previously held bourbon. As such, this expression cannot be called bourbon, as bourbon needs to be matured in new American oak barrels - hence why it's called whiskey instead. Slightly confusing legal nomenclature aside, it's bloomin' marvellous!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Polished oak, buttery corn and a kick of caraway spiciness.
Palate
Wonderfully creamy on the palate, boasting notes of butterscotch, golden syrup and sultanas.
Finish
Corn appears again, with peach and apple alongside it.
