Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon Whiskey

Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is the brainchild of master distiller Willie Pratt. Pratt, a maturation perfectionist with over forty years of distilling experience, is known as "Dr. No" since he often refuses to bottle aging barrels of whiskey. According to Pratt, maturing whiskey often hits a "fork in the road," and can either become incredible or unpalatable. "One of the barrels we sampled was unbelievably woody," Magliocco says. "And we reject that, we literally sewer it. Willie had another barrel that tasted delicious, but the consistency was like molasses, and we obviously couldn't sell that." Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon is crafted from select American corn, which is mashed, fermented and then distilled. After maturing in charred American oak barrels, the bourbon is double-barreled, or finished, in custom casks that are composed of wood that has been air-dried for 18 months and toasted but not charred.
