US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Michter's Us*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is made from a carefully selected mashbill that features the highest quality American corn. It is then matured to the peak of perfection. Truly "Small Batch" each batch of our US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is batched in a holding tank sized to fit a maximum of 20 full barrels, leaving no margin for "blending out" and thus necessitating perfection from each and every barrel. Reflecting the spirit of the Bluegrass State, Michter's US*1 Bourbon is nuanced, mellow and earthy.

Michter's has three locations in Kentucky - a 78,000 square foot distillery in the Shively section of Louisville, the architecturally significant Fort Nelson Building on Louisville's Museum Row and 145 acres of farm land in Springfield.

Deep amber with copper highlights. This bourbon is beautifully fragrant with notes of butterscotch, cinnamon, vanilla and ripe orange. The rich, round palate has a touch of sweetness followed by spice and lovely flavours of salted caramel, dried fruit and toasty oak. Flavours persist on the lengthy finish. 90-95 Points Whisky Enthusiast - The bouquet has a dry, grainy aroma which is accented by peppery/spicy scents. The palate entry is surprisingly sweet and corny, considering how dry the aroma is; the midpalate point is deep, corny sweet, sap-like and a bit syrupy. Ends up well and balanced, with a backnote of dried red fruit (raisins, prunes).

Lovely on its own, on the rocks or in a classic cocktail such as a Bourbon Sour or a Bourbon Old Fashioned.
