Just had a few questions regarding the Michter's 10 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon (not to be confused with the Michter's US*1 Small Batch Bourbon or their Unblended American Whiskey) that is currently on the market. The few previous threads that I discovered had more to do with Michter's 10 Year Old Rye or were tasting notes from several years ago, so I was hoping to find out if anybody has tasted any of the recent bottlings. I'm also curious as to what prices people are seeing/paying for this stuff, as I could find surprisingly little information on-line and the few internet sellers' prices that I did see ranged between $60 and $80! That's a lot of dough for bourbon whose origins appear to be cloaked in a veil of secrecy.
I happened upon a bottle at a discount liquor mart not far from me with a price tag of $48. Good deal then or still way too pricey for the quality of the juice inside the bottle? I should mention that I quite enjoyed the US*1 Small Batch Bourbon and the Unblended American Whiskey, both of which are on the sweet side and not particularly complex or "challenging" but nevertheless enjoyable with dessert after a nice meal or a book before bed. Any opinions/price info would be appreciated. Thanks!
