Mature in age and truly exceptional in quality, Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon has earned its place as an enduring favourite of the most discerning whiskey connoisseurs. The +Best American Whiskey+ according to Food & Wine magazine, the 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon represents the culmination of over a decade of patient ageing in Mitcher’s specially chosen, new charred American white oak barrels.
Tasting note: [LOT L14G457] The impressive bright burnished copper colour is a pleasure to behold. Understated initial whiffs of vanilla and caramel build to savoury scents of dried corn, tobacco, hazelnut and dates amid flashes of varnish. A lush and concentrated, medium dry profile is dappled with thick sugars at mid palate; delicious flashes of creamy vanilla emerge over charry oak and pepper. Finishes prolonged, gently tannic and perfectly balanced. Evidently 10 years is where things start to get serious for Michter’s. A sensational addition to the Bourbon category. 47.2 Alc./Vol.
