Description
Michter’s US*1 Small Batch Unblended American Whiskey 41.7 % vol., 0.7 l, in a gift box is a premium whiskey from the USA that is full of character and produced in small batches. Bottled by the traditional Michter’s Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, it represents the brand’s claim to offer handcrafted whiskeys of the highest quality.
Unlike bourbon, this American whiskey is not matured in new oak barrels, but in burnt oak barrels that previously contained bourbon. As a result, it develops a milder, softer profile with pronounced vanilla, caramel and fruit flavours, without the strong tannin character of fresh barrels. The designation “Unblended” emphasises that no neutral alcohols are added – a pure, authentic whiskey experience.
Maturation takes place in carefully selected barrels under Kentucky’s climatic conditions, resulting in a harmonious balance between sweetness, spice and wood flavours. The elegant gift box makes it an excellent choice for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate the special style of American whiskey tradition.

Michter’s US*1 Small Batch Unblended American Whiskey shows its full potential neat or with a few drops of water. It is an excellent accompaniment to grilled meat such as BBQ ribs or juicy beef steak, but also harmonises well with smoked cheese, roasted nuts or a selection of dark chocolate. For desserts, it is recommended with pecan pie, apple crumble or vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce. It also provides a particularly smooth and harmonious flavour experience as a base for classic whiskey cocktails such as Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
