Michter's US*1 American Whiskey

Michter’s US*1 American Whiskey is a premium small batch American whiskey that showcases the rich character and craftsmanship that has made Michter’s one of the most respected names in modern American whiskey. Unlike traditional bourbon, this expression is matured in whiskey-soaked barrels rather than new charred oak, creating a softer, smoother and more rounded flavour profile with exceptional depth and balance. Bottled at 41.7% ABV, it offers an approachable yet flavourful whiskey experience suited to both enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

The Michter’s name traces its origins back to one of America’s oldest whiskey traditions, with heritage linked to Pennsylvania distilling dating as far back as 1753. The modern Michter’s brand was revived in Kentucky during the 1990s and has since become globally recognised for its meticulous small batch production methods and quality-first philosophy. The US*1 range represents the distillery’s flagship collection, combining traditional American whiskey-making techniques with refined maturation practices and exceptional barrel selection.

The finish is warm, mellow and lingering, carrying delicate spice, vanilla cream and light caramelised sweetness.
