Description
What sets this Kentucky Straight Bourbon apart happens after the initial maturation. Michter's moves the whiskey into custom barrels built from wood air-dried for 18 months, then toasted rather than charred. That single finishing step, first released in the autumn of 2014, adds a layer of depth without overwriting the character of the bourbon underneath.
The result is a 750 ml bottling at 45.7% ABV with campfire smoke and cinnamon up front, followed by pecan and candied fruit. The finish carries on with baked pears, vanilla, and marshmallow, showing what careful cooperage brings to an already strong base whiskey.
