Michter's US1 Toasted Barrel Finish 750 ml

Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash is a limited-release American whiskey that takes the brand's award-winning sour mash and gives it a second life in a custom toasted barrel. That barrel is built from 18-month air-dried oak, toasted rather than charred, a choice made to coax out sweetness instead of char. Toffee and buttery vanilla lead the nose, trailed by honey, milk chocolate, and a flicker of orange peel. The palate turns toward toasted campfire warmth, cherry, and baking spice. The distillery releases this one in limited quantities, so it moves when it lands. Pour it neat and let the toasted-oak character open in the glass; water is optional and rarely needed here.

How to drink Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel

Neat, no water needed as the body notes — give it a few minutes in the glass first to let the toasted-oak toffee and chocolate notes fully open.
