Kentucky distiller Bill Samuels, Sr., founder of Maker's Mark, set out to make a better tasting bourbon whisky. What he discovered was that if you used winter wheat in the mash instead of the traditional distiller's rye, your bourbon whisky was smoother and less bitter...and that's made all the difference
Michter's US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is made from a carefully selected mashbill that features the highest quality American corn. It is then matured to the peak of perfection. Truly 'small batch' each batch of our US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is batched in a holding tank sized to fit a maximum of twenty full barrels, leaving no margin for 'blending out' imperfection and thus necessitating excellence from every barrel. Reflecting the spirit of the Bluegrass State, Michter's US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is nuanced, mellow and earthy. Michter's US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is also available with personalized Fort Nelson Select labeling at Michter's Fort Nelson Distillery.
Naked Malt's unique blend of the world's finest single malts is extra matured for six months in 'Naked' first-fill Oloroso sherry casks.

Well balanced oak, sherry with a citrus hint on the nose. To finish on the palate there is a medium full flavour, mature, Speyside fruitiness.

The palate is full-flavoured and complex, silky smooth with a harmonious balance of spicy, fruity, sherry and toasted notes. The finish is satisfyingly long while the complex flavours linger on the palate.
