Over & Under $50 Review

Michter's 20 Year Bourbon

Michter's Limited Release 20 Year Bourbon is a delicious pour with a hefty price tag, sitting at over $700 MSRP, and almost always over $2,000 in stores if you can even find it available.

The nose is lighter than you'd expect with notes of toasted oak, vanilla, citrus, and caramel. It's sweeter than what you'd expect for a 20-year bourbon.

The body is bold and carries one of the most incredible vanilla notes I've ever tasted. It's also extremely woody in a great way. Caramel and tobacco finish the dram.

This was a bucket-list pour for me, thanks to Silver Dollar in Louisville for making it happen!

Michter's Small Batch American Whiskey

Micther's Unblended American Whiskey can be found at most stores for around $45, making it quite an affordable pour. However, there are some whiskies that are both affordable and delicious as many aficionados will tell you.

The nose has notes of mossy oak, charcoal, toasted sugar, rye, and just a small twinge of sweet corn mash.

The body is mild and smooth with notes of torched oak, vanilla, tobacco, and leather. It's a very straightforward whiskey that finishes with notes of creamed corn and toasty oak.

For a pour that's sub $50, this one is a winner.
