The US*1¬†expressions, so named to honor Michter’s heritage harkening back to America’s first whiskey company, consist of some of the finest single barrel and truly small batch whiskeys available.¬†Distilled to Master Distiller Dan McKee’s exacting specifications, no US*1¬†whiskey is ever released until Dan and the Michter’s tasting panel deems it ready. Unlike Bourbon or Rye, which, by definition, must be aged in new oak barrels, our US*1¬†Unblended American Whiskey is aged in a way that utilizes whiskey-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavor profile. In late 2013, then Master Distiller Willie Pratt agreed to re-release our US*1¬†Unblended American Whiskey after a nearly three-year absence from the market, deeming it "just right" and "the best it’s ever been." Crucially, our US*1¬†Unblended American Whiskey never contains grain neutral spirits – hence its "unblended" distinction.
