| Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon |
For its latest US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon release, Michter's has accomplished something quite novel through its use of two different barrels to age the bourbon. For this one-time release, Michter's barrel ages its US*1 Bourbon as usual to full maturation and then transfers it for an additional period of time to a special custom made barrel for finishing.
Constructed from wood staves that have been cured by 18 months of air-drying, this unique finishing barrel is toasted for a precise amount of time, but never charred like a typical bourbon barrel.
According to Michter's President Joe Magliocco, it’s not a coincidence that Michter's limited release US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon is bottled at (45.7%) the exact same proof as Michter's on-going US*1 Bourbon offering. "We wanted our loyal Michter's customers to be able to sit down, taste each of the two US*1 Bourbon offerings at the same time, and enjoy the difference between the two."
Released on a limited basis, Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon will be available in the US for a RRP of $48.
