About Michter’s Small Batch Bourbon
The Michter’s story reaches back to 1753 and a Pennsylvania distillery founded by Swiss Mennonite farmer John Shenk. After the original operation closed in the late 1980s, Joseph Magliocco and whiskey veteran Dick Newman revived the brand, and today Michter’s distills in Louisville, Kentucky. The US*1 Small Batch Bourbon is made from a mash composed primarily of ripe American corn, with Michter’s known for a small-batch, quality-over-quantity philosophy across its lineup.
Tasting Notes
This bourbon leans into classic American whiskey character, with sweet corn and vanilla on the palate, a nutty, gently spiced aroma, and notes of darker fruit like raisin and plum toward a well-balanced finish. It is smooth and rounded, an easy bourbon to settle in with.
What to Pair It With
This is a sipping bourbon. Enjoy it neat, over one large cube, or in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. From the Sparrow dinner menu it pairs nicely with the American Wagyu steaks, the Sparrow-Smoked Rack, or the Truffle Deviled Eggs, and it is a great nightcap in our 21+ lounge.
