Finish: Fruit really comes on at the finish with some nuts rather deep into the finale.

Michter's Unblended American Whiskey

83.4 proof (41.7 percent alcohol)

Appearance: This whiskey is made using previously used barrels. Hence it is not a straight whiskey as other reviewed here are. Furthermore its color is markedly lighter. Its fat legs are rather quick once they release.

Nose: The very floral nose is reminiscent of Irish whiskey.

Palate: Hard candy is overawning flavor here with butterscotch and a bit of tutti-fruiti.

Finish: The finish is short as it snaps closed with a bit of tartness.
