Michters American Whiskey

Michter’s American Whiskey is a distinctive take on American whiskey that prioritizes softness, balance, and wood nuance over heavy char and spice. Unlike bourbon, it is not aged exclusively in new charred oak, resulting in a smoother, more refined profile that highlights sweetness and texture. Crafted in Kentucky, this expression has become a benchmark for drinkers looking for elegance rather than intensity.

The nose is gentle and inviting, with aromas of vanilla, caramel, toasted sugar, and light oak, accented by hints of butterscotch and baking spice. On the palate, it is silky and approachable, delivering flavors of toffee, honey, vanilla cream, and soft spice, with a rounded mouthfeel and restrained sweetness that keeps the whiskey polished and easygoing.

The finish is clean and mellow, lingering with notes of vanilla, light oak, and subtle sweetness. Bottled at 41.7% ABV (83.4 proof) in a 750 ml format, Michter’s American Whiskey is an excellent choice for sipping neat, over ice, or for customers seeking a refined alternative to traditional bourbon.

Cask Program:
Michter’s American Whiskey is first matured in ex-bourbon barrels, then finished in custom-made toasted (but not charred) American oak barrels. This secondary maturation adds layers of vanilla, caramel, and sweetness without the smoky or tannic influence of heavy char, defining the whiskey’s signature smooth and approachable character.
