Michter’s US*1 Small Batch Unblended American Whiskey is a unique and intriguing whiskey that stands out for its distinctive flavour profile and its departure from traditional American whiskey categories. Unlike bourbon or rye, which must be aged in new charred oak barrels, this whiskey is aged in whiskey soaked barrels, giving it a different flavour profile.

The exact mash bill for this whiskey is not disclosed, which adds to its mystique. It’s known to be a small batch release, with each batch typically consisting of no more than two dozen barrels. This allows for greater control over the quality and consistency of the whiskey.

Michter’s US*1 Unblended American Whiskey is bottled at 83.4 proof (41.7% alc/vol), a strength that allows its subtle flavours to shine through.
