Description
As a cornerstone of the Michter’s US*1 line, this 750ml single barrel release pays homage to the heritage of America’s first whiskey company, dating back to 1753. While many modern distilleries have moved toward higher-proof entries, Michter’s distinguishes itself by utilizing a lower barrel entry proof of 103. This method requires more barrels and intensive warehousing but results in a significantly richer, more full-bodied texture. To further enhance its character, the rye grain is sheared prior to distillation to maximize flavor extraction before maturing in fire-charred, new American white oak barrels within heat-cycled warehouses. This meticulous craftsmanship has established it as a sought-after premium whisky in South Africa. When you buy from Decanter Liquor, you are securing a spirit that bridges the gap between high-rye bourbon sweetness and traditional spicy intensity.
- Nose: Enticing aromas of vanilla bean and toasted marshmallows layered with subtle hints of herbal tea, green apple, and almond.
- Palate: A creamy, oily mouthfeel reveals notes of warm cinnamon buns, caramel squares, and a delicate touch of fresh mint and apricot.
- Finish: Long and warming with lingering traces of dark chocolate, leather, and seasoned oak.
For the ultimate experience, serve it neat in a Glencairn glass to appreciate the single barrel nuances, or use it as a robust base for a classic Manhattan.
