Michter’s US★1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon 2024 700ml
In their words - 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.
Cornflake opening aroma that's toasted, dry, mildly resiny, unbuttered popcorn-like; aromas of spelt, chicory, white mustard seed. Silky smooth, dusty dry, moderately oily, creamy, burnt, tar-like; toasted cereal, roasted corn, corn bread. Extended aftertaste turns mildly honeyed, spicy (savory, mace).
This bourbon undergoes a second maturation in a toasted barrel made from 18-month air-dried wood, adding unique flavor dimensions.
