LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The rule breaker. By ignoring category definitions, Michter's created something delicious. It is the 'Goldilocks' American whiskey.

The Library Note

Michter's is America's first distilling company (dating back to 1753). The 'Sour Mash' designation refers to the fermentation process, but here it also signifies a unique mash bill that doesn't qualify as bourbon (too little corn) or rye (too little rye), creating a fascinating hybrid flavor.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Warm and inviting. Notes of cinnamon, butter, and almond.

Rich and spicy. It starts sweet like a bourbon with vanilla and corn, then hits with the spice of a rye.

THE FINISH

Consistent and peppery.
