Ok here you have it.... the first Bourbon review of the year, and its gonna be a good one. Michter's small batch bourbon; this is one of the few bourbons that you can't trace way back. This bourbons heritage come from Pennsylvania and dates back to 1753. This is one of the few American whiskey's that you can consider superb. Michter's small batch delivers complex flavors and it's layered with soft earth tones. This bourbon is one of my favorites and one that is meant to be savored sip by sip. Its best enjoyed out of a snifter glass after dinner or before bed with an evening cigar. Another thing you need to know about this bourbon is that its comes from what they call "small batch." Small batch bourbon is bourbon that has limited quantities so that the quality can remain at a high level. Most small batch bourbon is a bit expensive but very well worth it; this Michter's has a price tag of $44.99 which is reasonable for a quality bourbon like this one. Michter's also has other whiskey's in their line of products. This small batch bourbon is an 8 year old bourbon for you who care about how old your whiskey is. Other info on this bottle: its bottles at 45.7 % abv which is 91.4 proof.
Color: Golden brown with an amber hue at the core of the whiskey
Nose: Hints of charred oak...probably white oak. caramelized nuts on the forefront with smokey caramel too. in the back you get some faint vanilla and dusty wood and quietly some apple creeps up.
Palate: Definitely warm on the mouth, explodes with bold and round flavors. Medium to full body and packs smoked wood on the back of your tongue.
Finish: Long and warm. you feel it all the way into your stomach. the sweetness comes to fruition and leaves you wanting another sip.
Rating: 94 out of 100
