Michter's US★1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon is a groundbreaking whiskey expression first introduced to great acclaim in Fall 2014 — and one that remains unlike anything else in bourbon. Michter's takes their acclaimed US★1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon and ages it for an additional period in a custom second barrel assembled from 18-month air-dried wood that is toasted but not charred. No additives, no shortcuts — nothing extra done except placement in that second toasted barrel. The result is a flavor profile of extraordinary uniqueness: campfire warmth, cinnamon spice, pecan, and candied fruit leading to a finish of baked pears, vanilla, and marshmallow. Bottled at 91.4 proof (45.7% ABV).

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Campfire warmth, cinnamon, pecan, and candied fruit — the toasted second barrel delivering a uniquely warm and inviting complexity
• Palate: Rich and distinctive with campfire, cinnamon, pecan, candied fruit, and a warm baking spice — the toasted (not charred) second barrel adding a layer of flavor impossible to achieve any other way
• Finish: Lingering and luxurious with baked pears, vanilla, and marshmallow — one of the most distinctive finishes in American whiskey

FAQs

What is the dual barrel process?

After aging in fire-charred new American white oak barrels (standard bourbon), the whiskey is transferred to a custom second barrel made from 18-month air-dried wood — toasted but not charred. The toasting (vs. charring) extracts different wood compounds, delivering the signature campfire, pecan, and baked fruit character.

Are there any additives?

None — the extraordinary flavor comes purely from the second toasted barrel. Nothing added, nothing done except the barrel finish.
