Michter’s US*1 Small Batch Original Sour Mash Whiskey 750ml

On the nose corn, candy corn, vanilla bean, marshmallow, and musty wood notes. The palate hints candy corn, vanilla, and custard to start, and then a thin veneer of oak and spice emerges at mid palate through to the finish. For a whiskey aged in barrels that had already been used for aging bourbon, this has a good bit more oak than I would have expected. There is also some slight astringency. All in all, it’s a bit simplistic, but it’s tasty.
