Michter's US1 American Whiskey stands apart, defying whiskey traditions. Named in tribute to America's first whiskey company, it embodies a spirit of innovation steeped in heritage. Unlike bourbon or rye, Michter's US1 gains its depth from a unique aging process. The spirit matures in barrels previously soaked in whiskey, imparting extraordinary richness and nuance.
In 2013, after a careful hiatus, Master Distiller Willie Pratt deemed this whiskey "just right" for its triumphant return. Each small batch promises deep butterscotch and vanilla, laced with caramel and dried fruit. The finish lingers, a whisper of ripened fruit sweetness. Crucially, Michter's US*1 contains no grain neutral spirits, earning its distinctive "unblended" title.
Michter's US*1 American Whiskey is a journey for the palate. It honors the past while forging a bold new path – a testament to Kentucky's enduring whiskey artistry.
Michter's Description
Unlike Bourbon or Rye, which, by definition, must be aged in new oak barrels, our US1 Unblended American Whiskey is aged in a way that utilizes whiskey-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavor profile. In late 2013, then Master Distiller Willie Pratt agreed to re-release our US1 Unblended American Whiskey after a nearly three-year absence from the market, deeming it “just right” and “the best it’s ever been.” Crucially, our US1 Unblended American Whiskey never contains grain neutral spirits – hence its “unblended” distinction.
Tasting Notes: Deep butterscotch and vanilla notes, hints of caramel and dried fruit with a ripened fruit finish.
