Description

Well, it’s not just bourbon, nor rye. At its baseline, Michter’s is straight bourbon and straight rye. This means that the booze is aged at least two years, or in this case, over four (more on that below). There are other aspects to bourbon and rye, of course, but the main thing to know for Michter’s is the rye is spicier, and the bourbon is just a bit smoother. Distillation: A process where a liquid is heated and cooled for purity. For whiskey specifically, this is the part of the process where any existing alcohol created during fermentation is removed. If you’re going to spend your money on any one of these expressions, we highly recommend going for this bottle, especially if you’re looking for something complex, rich, and unforgettable. There’s simply nothing particularly amazing about Michter’s Small Batch. It’s a slightly above-average pour for a way above-average price point.

The next step differentiates Bourbon from whiskey. The mixture is pumped into a fermentation vat with yeast and, commonly, a sour mash mix. The mash is then distilled – mostly twice – to remove impurities and increase the strength of the liquid.Then, the barrels are charred, offering a smoky environment that almost caramelizes the liquid. The standard barrel size is 263 liters and weighs 225 kilos when full. What’s the difference between Bourbon and Whiskey? Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee released Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon in 1984, at a time when the Bourbon industry appeared to be on a downward slope. But Blanton’s higher-rye mash bill proved a success, and the brand has risen from strength to strength over the years.

Age/Age Statement: Though not required, many distilleries display their whiskey offerings with the amount of time they’ve spent aging. Generally, the more years the liquor has spent in its barrels, the better – although there are some exceptions. So a ranking of all the bottles of Michter’s whiskey is relevant to more than just the true aficionados. It’s for the people! Blend: Some whiskey experts may disregard blended whiskey while many others consider it an art. Blended whiskey combines multiple other whiskeys alongside neutral grains, flavorings, and colorings.

As the saying goes, “All Bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is Bourbon.” But there’s more to it than just semantics. If you’re a whiskey (and especially Bourbon) drinker, you need to know the differences. But Michter’s relentless pursuit of quality has resulted in every batch of whiskey, rye or bourbon being meticulously controlled from start to finish. I’ve heard on podcasts that the typical batch size is 8 to 10 barrels. If you prefer to read about Bourbon before opening the bottle, jump to our sections below to learn more about Bourbon.

The liquid needs to be distilled to no more than 160 proof and entered into the barrel at 125 proof. It must not contain any added flavoring, coloring, or other additives and must be aged in new, oak-charred barrels.

But Michter’s 10? None of those changes have occurred. So what is going on here? The Tale of Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon I got an immediate and unexpected blast of Granny Smith Apples and cinnamon with some vanilla mixed in. It’s a light and dry nose. Nose: A lovely aroma of baked goods is front and center with vanilla, cinnamon, apples and brown butter almost making you believe that a piece of streusel in front of you. The sweetness is complete with loads of caramel too. Before the process is started, a distiller must first determine the mash bill: the exact makeup of grains from which the whiskey is made. To qualify as Bourbon, the grains must feature at least 51% corn. Then, a combination of rye, wheat, and malted barley can also be added.
