Small batch release 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 meaning these Bourbons are typically aged longer than other producers would otherwise age theirs. 
 
Produced in very small batches, typically twenty-four barrels or fewer per batch and aged for around eight years, Michter's US*1 really is a great Bourbon. Teasing with caramel, vanilla and dried fruit notes, this is a very pleasant drink to both spend time with and to enjoy through the night.

Citrus and Carmel on the nose with a nice spiced finish.
Michael
Michael,
Nice. Short on the front, but good flavors and good finish come through. Flavor spiral is pretty spot on.

Yummmmm

Angela,
Very good bourbon; smooth with just the right warmth
Jason
Jason,
The US1 is better. This is smooth finish but a harsh start. Pay less for better whiskey.
Bruce
Bruce,
This was a pretty good tasting bourbon; however, it paled in comparison to Bookers, Bakers and Blantons. Just my thoughts.
Will
Will,
solid whiskey
Bonnie
Bonnie,
Compared to several other bourbon's I've recently tried; this one seems more harsh, not very complex and I felt over priced. It did not leave a pleasant taste in my mouth.

Excellent! A Great bourbon with a unique hint of its own magickal origins. A worthy salute to its creator's talents.

Smells great. As you inhale you can smell the hint of fruit and vanilla. The initial sip has a bit of a bite but not a harsh gasoline hit. It softens and mellows quickly allowing you to taste the spice and peppers giving with a somewhat smokey taste. A very nice whiskey worth sipping next to a fire on a cold day.

My favorite Bourbon. Highly recommended to those who like a sweet smokey flavor with a little bit of kick.
Jason
Jason,
A phenomenally smooth bourbon with great corn notes and full flavor
Michael
Michael,
Straight out the bottle warm I don't recommend except for those that can handle the heat. Pour a glass throw in a single ice sphere and it is delicious. The Mrs stole a shot and poured it in her coke. After screaming sacrilege I tasted it and it tasted like cherry coke. I am really enjoying this bottle as a southern boy who does not drink in moderation.
Brian
Brian,
One of the best of the grand master Kentucky craft bourbons in an American bursting at the seams with exciting new whiskeys. Once you're ready to take the training wheels off your tumbler and experience full-throttle flavor, this is your "I've arrived," bottle as a serious bourbon enthusiast.
Jody
Jody,
This came very highly rated so I was disappointed. Just kind of clumsy--not well balanced. The alcohol over-powers the palate which is a little bland.
Timothy
Timothy,
Smooth and clean. Give this bourbon about ten minutes in your glass to relax and air out then enjoy the rich and deep flavors
James
James,
Good stuff!
Nathan
Nathan,
Absolutely my favorite Bourbon! Great flavors! I have higher end, more expensive, bourbons but, this is the one bourbon that goes into my decanters. Pick one up, well worth it!
