Tasting Notes

Michter’s US*1 Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey is crafted in limited quantities, with each batch made from no more than 20 barrels to ensure consistency and quality. Aged in fire-charred, new American oak barrels, it offers a classic yet refined bourbon profile. The nose opens with aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey layered with toasted oak, baking spice, and dried fruit. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced, delivering flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, cocoa, and cinnamon complemented by clove, orange peel, and subtle herbal notes. The texture is rounded and velvety, striking a balance between sweetness and spice. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of caramel, oak, and gentle spice.
