Michter’s American Whiskey
€9.00
Michter's US*1 American Whiskey is one of the most intriguing products in the renowned American distillery's portfolio. Unlike its siblings – bourbon and rye whiskey – this product cannot be classified into traditional categories, which gives it a unique status.
The key feature of Michter's American Whiskey is its aging process. Unlike bourbon, which must by law be aged in new, charred oak barrels, Michter's American Whiskey is aged in barrels that have already been used once for bourbon aging.

These "whiskey-soaked barrels" give the distillate a softer and less oak-forward character. The absence of new barrels means it cannot be called "bourbon." This technique allows the grain distillate to develop a rich and complex profile without the dominating influence of fresh oak.
Bottled at an alcohol content of 41.7% (83.4 proof), Michter's US*1 American Whiskey is the perfect choice for those looking for a softer and more nuanced American whiskey. It is excellent both for sipping neat and as a sophisticated ingredient in cocktails, where its unique profile can shine.
