Unlike Bourbon or Rye, which, by definition, must be aged in new oak barrels, Michter's Unblended American Whiskey is matured in whiskey-soaked barrels, which provide the unique, sweet flavor profile. It does not contain grain neutral spirits – hence its “unblended” distinction. Tasted at Michter's Distillery.
