Tasting Characteristics
Rich and unique taste profile. Deep butterscotch an vanilla notes, hints of caramel and dried fruit, with a ripened fruit finish.
The process
What makes Michter's US*1 American Whiskey so special:
• No use of grain neutral spirits, thus unblended
• Maturation in already used whiskey barrels
• Barrels are dried with air, naturally (18 - 36 months)
• Barrels are toasted, before being charred, to slightly caramelize wood sugars
• Filling of the barrels at lower ABV (51.5% vol, instead of the 62.5% industry standard)
• Larger "angel's share", because of the heat
• Selected chill filter protocol for each product
• Really small quantity of production.
Served
Enjoy on the rocks, plain or with drops of mineral water.
