Aging takes place in toasted American oak barrels, giving the spirit an intense personality, with predominant notes of vanilla, caramel, and a delicate spicy touch recalling cinnamon and white pepper. On the palate, it is soft and enveloping, with a balance that merges the sweetness of corn with the bold character of rye. The finish is long, warm, and slightly sweet, with a toasted accent that underlines its superior quality.
Perfect to enjoy neat or with a light touch of water to release its aroma, the Michter’s US*1 Small Batch American Whiskey is also suitable for classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned, enhancing the complexity of the spirit without overpowering them. An ideal choice for lovers of authentic and refined American whiskeys.

Distillation
Production uses equipment including small pot stills (pot-to-pot system) and a large copper column (cited as 32" diameter and ~46 ft tall in the Shively facility). Fort Nelson also operates with historic pot stills and cypress wooden fermenters recovered from the old Pennsylvania Michter's; Shively uses steel fermenters for larger productions.
Ageing
Aging in new, charred American oak barrels, with use of staves toasted before charring for some products; barreling at a lower entry proof (around 103 proof) to promote a different maturation chemistry; use of heat cycling in warehouses to increase interaction between spirit and wood; many releases are single-barrel or very small batch.
