Michter’s has been recognized by whiskey connoisseurs as truly extraordinary. In recent years, they’ve secured accolades such as “Best American Whiskey” by Food and Wine, “Spectacular” by Robert Parker, “Magnificent” by F. Paul Pacult, “Whisky of the Year” by The Whisky Exchange, “Best of the Best” by Robb Report, and “Distiller of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast.
With a tradition in Louisville dating back to 1753, Michter’s is very much in the middle of the American Whiskey history. Painstaking attention to details is what sets these guys apart- including details like yeast selection; fermentation temperatures; distillation; wood selection and drying of staves; toasting and /or charring of their barrels.
This particular Rye was rewarded with 94 points by Tasting Panel, but I’m not sure that’s even high enough. The US1 Kentucky Straight Rye is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to maximize the extraction of flavor from the grain. This one has great notes of oats and honey, complimented by creamy notes of caramel and butterscotch. So smooth and delicious, you would never know this is bottled at 84.8 Proof.

Michter’s always provides some of the best value in American Whiskey and they never miss. This one is their best bang for the buck bottling that they make. This is so smooth and delicious, you would never know this is bottled at 84.8 Proof. This is a bit of a spicy number with those signature Rye peppery notes, butterscotch, creme brulee and a hint of toasted oak. One of my all-time favorite under $50 bottles.
This is obviously something very rare and very special. In fact, I only have one bottle and even that took some convincing. It’s worth it to a lucky collector though. This single malt is matured exclusively for twenty-five years in Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. Laying undisturbed in the same casks for so long transforms this into a silky, luxurious single malt whisky characterized by its rich flavors of vanilla, dried fruits and ginger spice with a long finish and rich mahogany color.
This project has become one of my favorite things. Sending Eddie Russell’s Reserve Bourbon barrels down to Jalisco, Mexico to Espolon where fill them with their knockout Añejo Tequila. Then they send me back a barrel of our very own Tequila, with so many intricacies that separate it from any other I’ve tasted. All for a price that’s better than a regular bottle of good Tequila! Great on its own but surprisingly really enjoyable with food as well.
This is the fourth and last installment of the Booker’s Small Batch collections from 2022. I’ve noticed that with each one, the quality continues to rise, but unfortunately it seems like that’s true of the price as well (for everything!). The Pinkie’s batch is in honor of Booker Noe’s dad, the original Frederick Booker Noe, better known as “Pinkie”. It’s a gorgeous Bourbon at over 122 Proof but you never feel the heat. It’s a seamless, gorgeous blend.
