Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed November 2010Crazy-sweet aroma, full of caramel, vanilla and a slight floral touch. The bite comes first (and lingers awhile), followed by vanilla, caramel, coconut flavors. It mellows considerably with ice, and becomes quite likeable, drinkable and mild. (KN)

Whisky Advocate
Complex and complete, the sweet and chewy aromas of maple syrup and crème de marrons meet milk chocolate and Andes Mints. On the palate, the intense layered sweetness of vanilla, crème brûlée, pecan pie, butterscotch, and honey is tempered by chili spice and deep earthy notes of leather and tobacco, before toffee and baking spices carry into the long finish. (JL, Fall 2019)
Notes
The Michter's name has been synonymous with great whisky since the 1950s. That famous whisky is no longer distilled at the Schaefferstown Distillery in Pennsylvania, but the legacy lives on. Current owners Chatham Imports bottles under this historic name and has been doing so since the 1990s. One of the few non-distiller producers to have good stocks of Kentucky bourbon and rye at affordable prices considering the current market. The quality is good and the price is right even if they won't tell us who distilled it!
