Distillation & Maturation Michter’s US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is made in small batches using carefully selected corn, rye and malted barley. Aged in fire-charred American white oak barrels, it is mellowed to perfection and bottled at 45.7% ABV. Known for its exceptional balance and flavour, this bourbon is non-chill filtered to retain full character and depth.
Nose Warm and inviting with aromas of caramel, vanilla, sweet corn and toasted oak. Subtle layers of cinnamon, toffee and dried fruit emerge with time in the glass.
Palate Smooth and full-bodied, the palate delivers rich flavours of butterscotch, baked apple, spice and roasted nuts. Oak and char give depth, while a touch of orange peel adds brightness. The finish is long and warming with lingering sweetness and gentle spice.
Food Pairing Excellent with barbecued meats, pecan pie or dark chocolate. Also works beautifully in classic bourbon cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
Cellaring Ready to drink now, but will maintain quality for years after opening. A versatile bourbon for sipping or mixing.
Interesting Fact Michter’s traces its roots back to 1753, making it one of America’s oldest whiskey brands. Their US*1 bourbon reflects a deep commitment to small-batch, hands-on whiskey making—one barrel at a time.
