Michter's US*1 Small Batch Original Sour Mash Whiskey 750ml
$45.99 USD
On the nose corn, candy corn, vanilla bean, marshmallow, and musty wood notes. The palate hints candy corn, vanilla, and custard to start, and then a thin veneer of oak and spice emerges at mid palate through to the finish. For a whiskey aged in barrels that had already been used for aging bourbon, this has a good bit more oak than I would have expected. There is also some slight astringency. All in all, it's a bit simplistic, but it's tasty.
