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!
Polished oak, buttery corn and a kick of caraway spiciness.
Wonderfully creamy on the palate, boasting notes of butterscotch, golden syrup and sultanas.
Corn appears again, with peach and apple alongside it.
It’s delightful on the nose, too much vanilla rendering a one dimensional flavor. It’s Bourbon plain & simple. And it’s indistinguishable from Michter’s other expressions. In any case, it’s not bad. But once the bottle I have evaporates- I probably won’t buy another.
Just finishing up my bottle, probably will not replace it. I like it, but it’s to low proof, would be a hit if it was 100 proof or higher.
Smooth, sweet, absolutely delicious!
I'm not convinced. It's nice, but it sacrifices smoothness for depth. A pleasant sweetness, but the mouthfeel is quite thin (even watery), and the flavour is pretty one-dimensional. The nose is very nice, and the first sip is lovely ... but there's nothing much more that comes of it. And, strangely, the flavour profile feels a bit 'cool', rather than the typical warming roundness one would expect from the style. It's smooth, but it's kind of bland, nor anything particularly distinctive, which makes me think you're mostly paying for the hyped brand name. Disappointing, for the price. There are loads of better options at this price point in the US bourbon/rye market.
If you're not a fan of 'deep vanilla notes' then, yeah, you'll probably not be a fan of this. However that's what this 'whiskey' is all about and it really shouldn't come as a surprise, or reason to mark it down. It's beautiful warm and inviting, sweet and a nice lasting burn. I've been excited to try this since reading about it, and I'm not disappointed. Great whiskey!
