Distiller Notes

Rich caramel with balanced vanilla, stone fruit notes, smoky depth, with an oak finish. Michter’s US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is made from a carefully selected mash bill that features the highest quality American corn. It is then matured to the peak of perfection. Truly “small batch” each batch of US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is batched in a holding tank sized to fit a maximum of twenty full barrels, leaving no margin for “blending out” imperfection and thus necessitating excellence from every barrel. Reflecting the spirit of the Bluegrass State, Michter’s US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is nuanced, mellow and earthy.

Professional Ratings

Tasting Panel, 98 points

A dignified perfume of peach and new leather is accompanied by a sumptuous mouthfeel. Coffee bean, chocolate-covered almond, and cigar leaf keep the palate occupied, while creamy caramel and peach usher in a singed-marshmallow note from midway to finish.
