About Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon
Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon is a unique expression in the Michter’s lineup that highlights the influence of barrel finishing. After aging in traditional new charred American oak barrels, the bourbon is transferred to a second barrel that has been carefully toasted rather than heavily charred.
This additional finishing stage enhances the whiskey’s natural sweetness and brings forward rich notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted sugar, and warm oak spice. The toasted barrel treatment creates a softer and more dessert-like profile compared to traditional bourbon aging.
Crafted by Michter’s Distillery, this release demonstrates the distillery’s dedication to innovation while maintaining classic American whiskey craftsmanship. Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon offers a smooth yet complex profile that appeals to both collectors and everyday bourbon enthusiasts.
