Michter's – US*1 Small Batch Sour Mash Whiskey (75cl, 43%)

Michter's US*1 Small Batch Sour Mash Whiskey is a Kentucky whiskey, bottled at 43% in a 750ml bottle. It is made from corn, rye and malted barley and distilled in small batches in a copper pot still system. The sour mash method means a portion of the previous distillation is added to each new batch. The spirit goes into new, charred American white oak barrels at 103 proof, lower than the industry standard. The nose offers dried fruit, vanilla, caramel and spiced orange, with light oak. The palate brings toasted oak, caramel, stone fruit, honey and butterscotch, with some spice. The finish is medium to long, with warming spice, oak and a little cocoa and candied orange.
