Michter's US*1 Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Michter's US*1 Small Batch represents the entry point into this prestigious brand, though 'entry' hardly does justice to this exceptional bourbon. This expression showcases Michter's commitment to quality at every level, with small batch production allowing for careful selection while maintaining broader availability than their single barrel offerings. The result is bourbon that punches well above its price point.

The nose offers refined complexity – rich aromas of caramel and vanilla are enhanced by notes of dried apricot, cinnamon, toasted oak, and subtle leather. There's a sophistication here that immediately signals premium quality, with excellent balance between sweet and spice elements. The small batch blending creates consistency while maintaining interest. On the palate, US*1 delivers smooth, well-integrated flavors: initial sweetness of butterscotch and honey transitions to notes of stone fruits, baking spices, dark chocolate, and perfectly balanced oak, creating an experience that rivals bourbons costing significantly more.

Michter's quality standards shine through even in their most accessible expression. The finish is smooth and satisfying, with lingering notes of caramel, fruit, and gentle spice. This is excellent bourbon for those exploring premium options or seeking a reliable high-quality daily drinker. Whether enjoyed neat to appreciate its refinement, or in cocktails where quality matters, Michter's US*1 Small Batch proves that their reputation for excellence extends throughout their range, making premium bourbon more accessible without compromising standards.
