    Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon 70cl

    4.8 ★ · 223 Google Reviews
    • Kentucky Straight Bourbon · Louisville · Small Batch

      Ask a London bartender which bourbon they actually keep for themselves and this is the bottle they name. Michter's US*1 is made in genuinely small batches, filled into barrels at an unusually low proof, and released only when the whiskey is judged ready — never to a schedule.

      How It Is Made
      The Long Way Round
      The Heritage
      Michter's traces its lineage to 1753 and the earliest days of American whiskey — a name revived and rebuilt in Louisville, Kentucky.
      Low Entry Proof
      Barrels are filled at 103 proof rather than the industry-standard 125. Less water added later means a richer, rounder whiskey — and a smaller yield.
      Heat-Cycled Ageing
      Warehouses are warmed in the cold months so the spirit keeps moving in and out of the wood all year, rather than sleeping through winter.
      Released When Ready
      Small batches, bottled only when the team judges them right. It is why Michter's sells out — and why bartenders hoard it.

      Questions

      Why is Michter's so hard to find?
      Because the production choices deliberately limit output — low barrel entry proof yields fewer bottles per barrel, batches are small, and nothing is released to hit a date. Demand has grown faster than supply, so allocations are common and shelves empty quickly.
      What does "small batch" mean here?
      A modest number of barrels selected and married together, rather than hundreds blended for consistency at scale. It means more character in the glass — and slight, welcome variation between batches.
      Bourbon or Scotch drinker — who is this for?
      Both. It is rich and sweet enough to delight a committed bourbon drinker, and structured enough that a Scotch drinker will take it seriously. If you are buying for someone whose taste you do not know precisely, this is a safe and impressive choice.
      Is it good in cocktails or should it be saved for sipping?
      Both, honestly. It sips beautifully neat or over a large cube, and it makes possibly the best Old Fashioned you will pour at home. Bartenders reach for it precisely because it does not disappear behind sugar and bitters.
      Can you deliver it directly to the person I'm gifting?
      Yes — enter their address at checkout and add your message. In London it can be at their door within 30–45 minutes, any hour of the day. The recipient must be 18+ with ID for our Challenge 21 check.
