Michter's US★1 Unblended: the 'best ever' American Whiskey

Unlike bourbon or rye, which by definition have to be aged in new oak barrels, US★1 Unblended American Whiskey is aged using whisky-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavour profile.

In late 2013, then Master Distiller Willie Pratt agreed to re-release our US★1 Unblended American Whiskey after almost three years off the market, deeming it 'just right' and 'the best ever'. It is essential that US★1 Unblended whiskey never contains neutral grain alcohol - hence the 'unblended' distinction.

This American whiskey is characterised by the use of second passage American white oak barrels. The barrels, already used for the first time for the ageing of the US*1 bourbon, lend sweetness and balance to this whiskey.

The nose perceives intense notes of butter, vanilla and dried fruit. Perfect on the rocks, recommended neat for all lovers of soft and delicate flavours.
