Description

Michter’s US 1 Unblended American Whiskey offers an exceptional drinking experience crafted for those seeking bold yet nuanced flavors in their spirit selection—available exclusively for pickup at our Santa Rosa store or shipping within California. This premium whiskey stands apart from traditional bourbons or ryes by its unique aging process: instead of new oak barrels, we utilize whiskey-soaked reused casks to develop its signature complexity without overpowering charred notes. The result is a sipping whiskey that balances depth with smoothness, making it ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate authenticity over convention.

When Master Distiller Willie Pratt revived this iconic blend in late 2013 after nearly three years off shelves, he did so only after declaring it “just right” and “the best it’s ever been.” His meticulous approach ensures every bottle delivers on its promise—a testament to Michter’s commitment to quality craftsmanship. Unlike many blended whiskeys on the market, ours remains unadulterated by grain neutral spirits (GNS), preserving its pure character and earning its “unblended” distinction. This choice enhances both flavor integrity and transparency for consumers who value premium ingredients and artisanal practices.

Savor layers of velvety butterscotch and vanilla upfront, complemented by subtle caramel accents and dried fruit undertones that linger into a richly satisfying finish reminiscent of sun-ripened fruits. Whether enjoyed neat or in a classic cocktail like an Old Fashioned, its smooth profile shines through without harshness often associated with younger spirits.

Crafted at 41.7% ABV (83.4 proof), this American whiskey strikes a perfect balance between boldness and approachability—a standout choice for collectors or gift-givers looking for rare California-sourced spirits with proven heritage. With limited availability and a story rooted in patience and precision, Michter’s US 1 isn’t just another bottle—it’s an expression of uncompromising quality designed for those who demand excellence in every pour.

Please note: This product is available for purchase within California only via BottleBarn.com or at our Santa Rosa location.*
