Tasting Notes

Michter’s US*1 Small Batch Unblended American Whiskey is crafted without the use of neutral grain spirits, focusing entirely on whiskey for a richer and more authentic profile. Aged in used bourbon barrels, it develops softer oak influence with pronounced sweetness. The nose opens with aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey accented by toasted oak and light fruit. On the palate, it is smooth and approachable, offering flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, cocoa, and baking spice balanced by citrus peel and gentle oak. The texture is round and velvety, with a sweeter profile than traditional bourbons or ryes. The finish is medium in length, leaving lingering notes of caramel, oak, and spice.
