Michter’s US1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon is a unique expression introduced in 2014, crafted by aging Michter’s US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon in a second, custom-made toasted barrel. This second barrel is made from 18-month air-dried wood, which is toasted but not charred, enhancing the complexity and depth of the whiskey without adding any additional ingredients. The result is a rich and nuanced bourbon that showcases the meticulous attention to detail Michter’s is known for. It has been widely celebrated by whiskey enthusiasts, receiving acclaim from Food and Wine, Robert Parker, and more.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Michter's US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon given a second act: after its initial aging, the whiskey moves into a custom-made barrel built from 18-month air-dried wood that is toasted rather than charred. Nothing else is added, so every shift in flavor comes from the wood. Introduced in 2014, it has earned praise from Food and Wine and Robert Parker. The nose leads with caramel, toasted oak and rich vanilla touched by cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate brings campfire warmth, pecan, candied fruit and butterscotch before a creamy mid-palate of marshmallow and baked pear. At 91.4 proof it has enough presence for an Old Fashioned, yet it truly shines neat. It suits the bourbon drinker ready to explore how finishing changes a familiar profile, and the enthusiast who wants a clear lesson in toasted versus charred oak. We carry it because it is a thoughtful, well-made finish that rewards slow sipping and side-by-side comparison.
Pairs well with
- Pecan pie — The pie's toasty nuts and caramelized filling echo the whiskey's pecan, caramel and butterscotch notes.
- Roasted pears or crème brûlée — Baked pear and burnt-sugar sweetness mirror the creamy mid-palate and toasted marshmallow finish.
- Fireside evening with friends — The bourbon's campfire warmth and lingering, comforting finish fit a slow night by the fire.
