The 2014 Michter's US-1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon is bottled at 91.4 proof (45.7% ABV) and is distilled and bottled in Kentucky by Michter's. A small-batch, limited release, the 2014 edition is the groundbreaking bourbon that created the toasted barrel finish category — the first toasted barrel whiskey ever released in America when it debuted in the fall of 2014, under Master Distiller Willie "Dr. No" Pratt.
It is made by taking Michter's US-1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon and aging it for an additional period in a second custom barrel, assembled from 18-month air-dried wood and toasted but never charred. The achievement is remarkable for what it is not: Kentucky Straight Bourbon with nothing extra added or done except placement in that second toasted barrel, where caramelized wood sugars draw out deeper flavor. Michter's launched the Toasted Barrel Finish program in the fall of 2014 as the first toasted barrel whiskey ever released in America, and the expression appears only from time to time as a small-batch limited release. Pratt arrived at the method through trial and error: the new barrels were toasted over an open flame of their own wood for 60 minutes, and the bourbon rested in them for 26 days, after the team found that 10 days was not enough and 30 was too much.
The toasting gives the bourbon its signature character: campfire and cinnamon with pecan and candied fruit, and a lingering finish of baked pears, vanilla, and marshmallow. Michter's continues the legacy of a company that traces its roots to 1753 and the original Shenk's distillery, and it stands today among the most admired names in American whiskey. As the inaugural release that launched an entire category of American whiskey, the 2014 is a foundational collector's bottle and the cornerstone of any Toasted Barrel Finish vertical.
