Whiskey from one of America’s oldest distilleries.
Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky Michter’s is one of the oldest distilleries in the States. Their Master Distiller, Willie Pratt, has been in and around the whiskey industry for over forty years, he is lovingly referred to as Dr. No as he will never allow any casks to be released or bottled until they are just right.
Matured in Bourbon soaked, American white oak barrels, this unblended American Whiskey is a great homage to Michter’s long legacy. This expression has not appeared on shelves for three years and is making a great comeback. The flavor profile is fruity and sweet. It combines a distinct vanilla undertone with bursts of fresh fruit throughout. The sweetness of the wood really comes through, with this vanilla developing into caramel and red apples. For those who enjoy their Whiskey thick with saccharine fruitiness, this is the dram for you!

Tennessee Whiskey closely parallels Bourbon, but a final filter through sugar-maple charcoal (called the Lincoln County Process) is what some producers say differentiates Tennessee Whiskey from its Kentucky cousin. The finish is sweeter and smoother than Bourbon.

Ratings & Reviews
Jonathan,
So this is a tough one. If my only experience with this whiskey was at home or a bar, I would rate it a bit lower, probably 5. It's preposterously sweet. Not in a bad way necessarily, but much sweeter than I normally enjoy. So sweet it's hard to believe there's no flavoring added (although I know the good folks at Michters would never do such a thing!).
So why a 7? This might be a top 3 camping whiskey. Shared around a fire on a cold evening with friends and family after dinner, stars above, this one comes into its own. For that reason I normally have a bottle on hand. So experience is influencing the score here but it's an experience I recommend...if you're into that sort of thing.
Kyle,
Wasn't my favorite, but I'll try it again
Michael,
So far the Michters have surprised me the most in the smoothness and the sweet flavor is just right as it still provides the classic flavor with hardly any sharp bite. And the flavors last even after the swallow due to the sweetness.
George,
For some reason I just can't get on board with this one. Out of the 30 or so bourbons in my cabinet this one is an enigma to me, I cannot put my finger on what it is but the flavor profile is very unpleasant. I wanted to like it more but it just isn't for me.
Pete,
Easy to drink with a pleasant nutty finish. Decent mixer for an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour. Not overly complex, but a good, well-rounded whiskey. If I could give it half points, it's more of a 6.5.
