MICHTER’S 10 YEAR SINGLE BARREL KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON 2019 WHISKEY

‘

Detailed Description
This is another great-tasting release that’s on par with the quality fans of Michter’s have come to expect. It’s complex, has great depth of flavour, and very well balanced with bold classic bourbon flavours and a good kick of spice.Something else I found interesting about this barrel is that it has a very decent heft of spice throughout. Traditionally Michter’s whiskies are very well-polished and don’t have any fiery burn as you sip them- to maximise their enjoyment. Michter’s 10 year old bourbon, however, has always toed this line with what I assume is a high-rye bourbon, giving drinkers a sharp enough spice bite to feel it but not enough to burn, instead prickling the tongue as it passes.
Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2019 Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose opens sweet and slightly fruity with fresh black cherries, followed by deep caramel, faint vanilla, earthy nuts, citrus peel, baking spices, and charred oak.
Palate: Fading to more dark stone fruit, citrus peel, and faintly smoky lingering oak spice.
Finish: A touch of dark chocolate, earthy nuts, and leaving a long aftertaste of charred oak and earthy rye spice.
