Michters US*1 American Whiskey

Description

Category: Whisky
Type: Rye
Region: USA
Strength: 43.7% alc/vol

Unlike bourbon or rye, which, must be aged in new oak barrels, the US*1 unblended American Whiskey is aged in a way that utilises whiskey-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavour profile. The US*1 Unblended American whiskey never contains grain neutral spirits – hence its “unblended” distinction.
As was done with the US*1 Straight Rye, Michter’s has tailormade their US*1 American whiskey from their regular 41.7% ABV to a unique 43.7% ABV, just for South Africa, to comply with our local legislation, being a minimum of 43% Alcohol by Volume. Why 43.7%? Michter’s production team give careful consideration to the tasting profile of every whiskey and those same exacting standards were certainly applied to this special release for South Africa.

Tasting notes:
Deep butterscotch and vanilla notes, hints of caramel and dried fruit with ripened fruit finish.
