Michter’s American Whiskey
€9,00
Michter's US*1 American Whiskey is one of the most intriguing products in the portfolio of the renowned American distillery. 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 ageing process. Unlike bourbon, which by law must be aged in new, charred oak barrels, Michter's American Whiskey is aged in barrels that have already been used once for ageing bourbon.

These "whiskey-soaked" barrels give the distillate a softer and less oaky 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 41.7% ABV (83.4 proof), Michter's US*1 American Whiskey is the perfect choice for those seeking a softer and more nuanced American whiskey. It is excellent both for sipping neat and as a refined ingredient in cocktails, where its unique profile can stand out.
