Batch 21I2612, Bottle 304 of 687 (440 bottles released)

Vital Stats: 114.2 proof, 57.1% ABV, minimum 20 years  old, Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, charred American oak barrels,   Appearance: The bottle has the Michter’s  sophisticated vintage look and a stout silver wax dipped top. The liquid  is a perfect amber, slightly lighter than you might expect an old  whiskey to be, with a dandelion hue on the edges. It bounces playfully  in the glass. 

Nose: From afar we find honey and oak, not charred  oak but more like your smelling the outside of a full whiskey barrel. As  you get closer you get pancakes, damp spring meadow, and a bit of  almond. There is a light spice and not too much alcohol, a very balanced  nose. 

Palate: Chalky and balanced. Like the nose, the heat  is mellow for 57%. We get white grape, a touch of sassafras, fresh  cherry and clay. Blackberry comes forward a bit, but leather, honey  covered pecans and duck fat carry it into a lightly spiced finish of  nutmeg, clove, minerality – just a hint of rose petal. It lingers for  what seems like an eternity. - The Whiskey Wash
