Michters Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon Whiskey 700ml

Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon showcases innovative maturation and nuanced depth. This limited-release expression begins with Michter’s flagship US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon, which undergoes secondary aging in a specially crafted toasted (but not charred) American oak barrel made from 18-month air-dried staves, adding complexity without overstated tannins. Bottled at 45.7% ABV (91.4 proof), this bourbon made its debut in 2014 and has become a collector’s favorite ever since. Tasting Notes Nose: Inviting aromas of caramel, vanilla bean, toasted marshmallow, warm baking spices, and a whisper of campfire smoke. Palate: Rich and round, with flavors of butterscotch, pecan, dark fruit, cinnamon, and subtle pepper, grounded in silky toasted oak. Finish: Medium–long and warming, offering lingering notes of baked pear, vanilla custard, cardamom, and oak warmth. Details Innovative finishing: The toasted barrel imparts caramelized sugars and vanilla richness without heavy char, yielding a balanced and elegant profile  Highly collectible: Limited-edition batches make this a sought-after bottle for enthusiasts. Proven track record: Honeymooned critically since its introduction, with reviewers praising its polished complexity and toast-forward character ABV: 45.7% (91.4 proof) Maturation: Finished 26 days in toasted, uncharred American oak after standard bourbon maturation Serving SuggestionsSip neat or with a splash of water to unlock its layers. Also excellent in spirit-forward cocktails, like a high-end Old Fashioned or paired with dark chocolate, toasted nuts, or smoked meats.
