- Description
- Michter's takes its standard bourbon, matured in charred American oak, and finishes it in toasted but uncharred barrels made from 18-month air-dried wood—a technique that layers complexity without overwhelming char. This limited release reveals secondary wood influence: softer vanilla, baking spice, and a silkier texture than typical heavy-charred bourbons. The result is balanced and nuanced, suited to those who enjoy exploring how finishing techniques shape whiskey's character.
