Michter’s enters the mouth with a noticeable astringency. The earthy hints from the nose jump out immediately in the palate with recognizable wet forest soil. This theme continues with the rooted flavor of cherry belle radish coming through. Next, some wooden tones arise primarily in the form of cherry wood. This masculine profile gets balanced out with vanilla and sweet corn, but this aspect itself is tempered by aniseed. This bourbon’s palate experience stands out with its dry yet spicy earthiness. If not ready for all of it, it can certainly catch one by surprise. FinishBefore the process is started, a distiller must first determine the mash bill: the exact makeup of grains from which the whiskey is made. To qualify as Bourbon, the grains must feature at least 51% corn. Then, a combination of rye, wheat, and malted barley can also be added. This is a true work of art in the world of whiskey. It’s an impeccable blend of seven whiskeys, giving it a luxurious and decadent palate we’ve never had before. Its rich finish left us with a sense of pure satisfaction.
