House Review
  • Nose:

    Beautiful rich, decadent nose. Delicate heat meets rich sweetness and soft spice: French toast, crème brûlée, cherry, apple bake, cinnamon rolls, cardamom.

  • Taste:

    Awesome, syrupy thick viscosity on the palate, which is held up by a strong oaky, tannic backbone throughout on the palate. Lovely cherry note, plus green apple peel, cinnamon, gingerbread, clove, confectioners sugar, cardamom, nutmeg and brown sugar

  • Finish:

    Medium, warming finish. Apple peel note continues onto the finish, joined by a good deal of tannin and cinnamon, plus some tobacco, clove, toasted marshmallow, peanut brittle and nutmeg.

  • Overall:

    Spectacular, delectable rye whiskey. Michter's is so good and continues to put out some of the world's best whiskeys on an impressively frequent basis.

  • Score:
