It has this amorphous, leathery and herbal funk throughout that I consistently have the hardest time describing because the taste is so distinctly “old whiskey.” But it also reminds of those 86\/90 proof older releases (like Old Fitz Prime) that, yes, are flavorful, but also drink thin and leave you craving a higher proof version. Delicious, yet leaves you wanting all in one glass.\" \u003c\/em\u003e- District Drams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe nose leads with sorghum molasses, raspberry tart, dark fired tobacco, glove leather, creamed corn, soda bread, macadamia nuts, chocolate graham cracker.

Early on in my exploration of this bottle I called it a \"modern dusty\" and I stand by that statement today. It has characteristics that remind me of whiskeys that were on the market in the late 80s and early 90s when lower barrel entry proofs were more common. This may or may not be the case for this release, but it does a damn good job at transporting me back to experiences I've had with some of those old bottlings most won't get the chance to try today.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e - Nick Anderson, Amongst The Whiskey (5\/5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eGood whiskey can’t be rushed, and this 10 year old from Michter’s took even longer than expected to be ready, as the Louisville producer pushed back its release from 2022 to 2023. A grippy start quickly leads to maple candy, cocoa powder, and sweet berry notes, giving it a lively quality on the palate. It finishes like a good cognac, with orange peel and great length.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - David Savona, Whisky Advocate (93 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePrevious Michter’s releases, including the 2021 release, have leaned a bit too heavily on the toasted notes and barrel char. While there’s still plenty of that in the latest offering, things do seem more balanced with more depth of flavor, reminiscent of the consistently impressive pre-2020 bottlings. Worth a whole extra year of waiting?
