The US1 range pays tribute to Michter’s historic roots, inspired by one of America’s earliest whiskey traditions dating back to 1753 in Pennsylvania. The modern Michter’s brand was revived in Kentucky while maintaining a focus on meticulous maturation, small batch production and flavour-driven releases rather than purely age statements. The “US1” designation honours Michter’s heritage as one of America’s original whiskey companies and has become synonymous with high-quality handcrafted American whiskey. 

Tasting Notes
Rich caramel and vanilla lead on the nose, supported by layers of toasted oak, stone fruit and gentle spice. The palate is smooth and full-bodied with notes of brown sugar, orange zest, honeyed sweetness and roasted nuts balanced by subtle smoky depth and warming baking spice. The finish is long, mellow and earthy, carrying lingering oak, sweet vanilla and soft spice that make this bourbon exceptionally approachable yet deeply complex.
