NAS
Bourbon
Michter's

Nose
Light with notes of lead and ethanol; prominent raisin bread and rye bread characteristics; toasted raisin with darker notes despite light proof expectation
Palate
Good viscosity for a filtered whiskey; raisin bread continues; honey sweetness present; subtle peach notes; bready with depth
Finish
White pepper spice that builds on the back; peach mixed into bread character; light to moderate length; not overly strong but present
Above average
A solid, inviting everyday bourbon with approachable complexity that combines bread and fruit notes in a well-balanced expression at mid-shelf pricing.
