Michter's Small Batch Unblended

Michter’s is a pheonix, a young company that has resurrected the heritage of the oldest distillery in the US, founded in 1753. The distillery was bankrupted in 1989 after prohibition and then a prolonged period of downturn affected the whole of the American whiskey industry. 

In 2013, the master distiller at Michter’s, Willie Pratt, announced that they were bringing back a label that had been defunct for about 30 years.  Unblended American Whiskey, which is a moniker that does not have to abide by the rules of bourbon or rye (notably the use of new charred oak every for every barrel in the batch). What we do know is that a majority of the distillate (maybe all of it) is aged in whiskey-soaked second use barrels.  The word “unblended” is also used to annotate that neutral grain spirits are also not used in the making of this whiskey.  Together, at a low proof, all of these characteristics come together to make a whiskey that is unlike any other.
