| 10-YEAR-OLD KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON Kentucky |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
MICHTER'S |
| Bright golden amber colour. Very intense, peppery, spicy, caramel-driven, woodsy Bourbon nose. Dry, medium-full bodied, intense, spicy, baked plummy Bourbon flavours with a lingering, slightly bitter finish. Unfortunately, I didn’t find it to be overly smooth - certainly no sign of a “soft glow” as quoted in the Vintages Catalogue. Has a hefty 47.2% alcohol. Unfortunately, a pass at the price. |

| TASTING NOTE: Appearance: Glossy, browned butter; copper; dark honey. Nose: If velvety had a smell, it'd be this bourbon. It immerses you in rich, buttery toffee; toasted wood; and caramel corn. Palate: Oh, wow. Yep: It's smooth, delicious, and does not disappoint. It burns ever so slightly on the finish, but it's more of a soft glow than a rough departure. This is a bourbon I want to keep for special occasions, except I don't. I want to drink this all day. It's the bourbon equivalent of the furniture that's not cheap, but you also still want to sit on ... Or like the perfect outfit, it makes everything look better.
