Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Toasted Barrel Finish (Barrel No. 23G2641), 54.6%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2023 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Rye Whiskey
Fresh, grainy, and earthy on the nose, along with caramel and warm oak influence. The palate is spicy, balanced, and powerful, with baking spice, cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, and chile powder. A subtle earthiness on the finish is followed by more chocolate and spice, along with well-integrated fruit. Full-bodied, full-flavored, and balanced by flavorful oak. A superb sipper, and one with a spine that could also stand up in any cocktail. Another tour de force from the Michter’s US*1 series.
