Distiller Notes:
First introduced to great acclaim in the Fall of 2014, Michter’s US★1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon is a groundbreaking whiskey expression. It is made by taking Michter’s US★1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon and then aging it for an additional period in a second custom made barrel. This second barrel is assembled from 18-month air-dried wood and then toasted but not charred. The truly unique and delicious taste of Michter’s US★1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon represents a remarkable achievement given that it is Kentucky Straight Bourbon with nothing extra added or done except placement in a second toasted barrel.

Awards/Reviews:
"Our reviewers are unanimous in recommending Michter’s US*1 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon for sipping or mixing. The tasting panel detected a strong barrel presence on the nose, palate, and finish. The nose is such a brilliant expression of barrel quality that it’s hard to find much else to say about it. The most noticeable thing about the palate is how dry it is, with much less residual barrel sugar than other bourbons in the same class. Beautiful baking spices and rich, velvety caramel also come out to play on further explorations. It has a balanced finish between [the] heat of the spirit and the richness of the oak. This is a bourbon drinker’s bourbon.” - Liquor.com
