Detailed Description
“It’s an elegant bourbon with lots of depth and cascading flavors,” said Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. Older barrels in Michter’s rickhouses receive extra attention from the production team. “We have a protocol whereby our Master Distiller Dan McKee and I taste our most mature lots of whiskey more frequently to determine peak quality,” stated Wilson.
Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2020 recently named the 2018 release of Michter’s 20 Year Bourbon as the winner of its 16-20 year old bourbon category. “By paying such careful attention to maturation, we wind up with 20 year plus barrels that can be really special and complex without being overly woody,” added McKee.
Michter’s 2018 20 Year Old Limited Release-Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: This holds nice vanilla overtones, with some hints of brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon on the first smell. Returning to it after it has opened up for a few hours brings forth notes of caramel corn, burnt sugar and green apple.
Palate: Some oak is immediately noticeably on the first sip, joined by all spice, black pepper, coriander and gingerbread. A few hours later it has mellowed the wood a bit, showcasing some toffee and black currant.
Finish: A bit of bitterness after the swallow, with long and drawn out tingling in the back throat. It is warm in the mouth as well.
