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 2019 20 Year Old Limited Release-Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: From afar we find honey and oak, not charred oak but more like your smelling the outside of a full whiskey barrel. As you get closer you get pancakes, damp spring meadow, and a bit of almond. There is a light spice and not too much alcohol, a very balanced nose.
Palate: Chalky and balanced. Like the nose, the heat is mellow for 57%. We get white grape, a touch of sassafras, fresh cherry and clay. Blackberry comes forward a bit, but leather, honey covered pecans and duck fat carry.
Finish: A lightly spiced finish of nutmeg, clove, minerality – just a hint of rose petal. It lingers for what seems like an eternity.
