Michter’s US*1 Unblended American Whiskey 41.7%
Tasting Note
Tasted: Nov 2014
The nose displays plenty of toffee, molasses and tar. Very oily with dried fruit and spice. The oak is pretty dense and muscular but again pliant. Hints of herbal rye and dusty spice come through, all set against this dark treacly background.
The palate is very soft and toffee’d with a touch of treacle. Very heavy on the oak as per the nose but the herbal rye begins to penetrate it along with a slight citrusy, spirit note. Mouth-filling and mouth-wateringly spicy finish with pepper grains exploding all over the place, but that violet tinged treacle balances. Wow, that is one hell of a finish!
