| TASTING NOTE: Although it's currently produced in Kentucky, Michter's traces its roots as far back as pre- Revolutionary Pennsylvania. It would even have a claim to being the nation's oldest continuously operational whiskey distillery had it not closed its doors during the Prohibition years. (It's competitor, Buffalo Trace, remained open at the time to make spirits for medicinal purposes.) With its light amber color and its sweet first tastes - subtle cinnamon and faint butterscotch included - one can be forgiven for immediately wishing their Michter's was accompanied by a slice of pecan pie. All this finishes with a balanced sweetness and a touch of heat to make an all-around great sipping bourbon, or a great base for an Old Fashioned. (Nick Moran, mensjournal.com, April 30, 2015) |
