Michter’s Small Batch US *1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is made from a carefully selected mash-bill. It features the highest quality American corn.
It is then matured to the peak of perfection, with barrels often ageing in excess of eight years.
Truly “small batch”, each batch of Michter’s US* 1 Bourbon typically contains no more than two dozen barrels. This leaves no margin for “blending out” imperfection and ensures that each barrel is excellent.
Michter’s is an American bourbon house with a rich and turbulent history. It was originally founded in Pennsylvania as Shenk’s distillery in 1753, before becoming Bomberger’s, and then Michter’s in the mid-20th century. Now based in Louisville, Kentucky, it enjoys renown for its small-batch expressions.
The US*1 expressions, so named to honour Michter’s heritage harkening back to America’s first whiskey company, consist of some of the finest single barrel and truly small batch whiskeys available. Distilled to Master Distiller Dan McKee’s exacting specifications, no US*1 whiskey is ever released until Dan and the Michter’s tasting panel deems it ready.
