Michter's US*1 Unblended American Whiskey, 70cl

Michter’s US*1 Unblended American Whiskey is a small-batch Kentucky whiskey bottled at 41.7% ABV. It is aged in barrels that previously held whiskey rather than in new charred oak, which is why it cannot be labelled as bourbon. That single choice gives it a soft, rounded, fruity style that sits apart from most bourbon and rye, with butterscotch sweetness and gentle spice.

About the distillery

Michter’s is one of the best-known names in American whiskey, based in Louisville, Kentucky. The US*1 range nods to what many call the first whiskey company in America, and the labels carry a heritage date of 1753. The whiskeys are distilled and bottled in Kentucky in limited quantities.

How it’s made

This American whiskey is aged in whiskey-soaked American white oak barrels rather than new oak, and it contains no grain neutral spirits, hence the word unblended on the label. It is released in small batches and bottled at 41.7% ABV.

Tasting notes

• Nose: Butterscotch and buttery corn, with polished oak, ripe fruit and a little caraway spice.
• Palate: Creamy and rich, with golden syrup, sultanas and a gentle warming spice.
• Finish: Soft peach and apple, with corn sweetness returning at the end.

How to enjoy it

Michter’s US*1 Unblended American Whiskey is best sipped neat or over ice, and it softens a classic Old Fashioned nicely. For food, try it with glazed pork belly, roast duck or a slice of pecan pie.
