Michter's 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2024 review

Tasting Notes

About:

This is a 10-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon that’s single barrel in origin. It is bottled at 94.4 proof and priced at $185.
Appearance:
This bourbon has a clean, amber-orange color in the glass, supported by thick legs and viscosity.
Nose:
Vanilla, oak and caramel come through on the nose with this one, reflecting classic notes for around this age statement. They are joined by considerations of green apples, freshly cut grass, a little bit of orange, and a very slight hint of pine trees.
Palate:
The taste drift on this is much like the nose—classic, high-quality bourbon palate flavors of vanilla, oak, caramel, and a nod of orange. Also to note here are a little bit of cinnamon, some maple, a hint of black pepper, and a backbone of cacao.
Finish:
This finishes rich and warm, carrying a nudge of vanilla and oak to a long-lasting conclusion on the back throat.
Comments:
At the end of the day, Michter’s 10-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2024 is yet another solid example of Micther’s distilling team knowing when it is the right time to bottle something. This is a deep and exceptionally well-balanced offering worth checking out.
