Michter's is one of the oldest whiskey producers in America (sometimes known as Schenk's or Bomberger's). Originally produced in Pennsylvania's Blue Mountain Valley, legend has it that a version of it was enjoyed by the troops at Valley Forge. This release is made from a largely corn-based mash bill, then aged in "specially chosen" new, charred oak barrels (no further finishing is stated.)

2020 bottle. The winner from a stacked tasting. Goes into barrel low proof (104) and comes out relatively low at 114. There is nothing harsh about it. Herbal tea on nose. Candied orange and honeysuckle on palate. Finish is wood, but not nearly too much, and light cinnamon stick, with of course a lengthy finish. It’s gosh damn amazing
Hands down the best bourbon I have ever tasted, poured by the hands of the woman who runs the maturation. It was an out-of-this-world experience.
Brown sugar cocaine. This is quite possibly the best smelling thing on the planet. (This was an '08 bottling)
This is for the sour mash, not the 25 year. Dried fruit, then chocolate and toffee through the finish
Sitting on the shelf for $499.99 at my local store. Want it, but not going for that.
This is what Pappy would taste like if it lived up to the expectations.
