MICHTER’S DISTILLING CO.
Peggy
Nose: Fresh green apple with a grassy note. Light toffee bits and subtle nutmeg. Vanilla bean steeped in black tea. Fruit compote.
Palate: Delicious maple syrup and tobacco on the first sip then spice creeps in to bring some ginger and soft allspice. Milk chocolate and white cherry.
Finish: Easy going and deep with soft oak and sweet essence of spice.
Comments: An approachable and attractive whiskey to put on your best bar shelf.

Susan
Nose: Notes of rye grass poke up from a solid foundation of caramel and fresh cherries.
Palate: A cabinet full of herbs and spices, fresh tobacco and new leather. All are embedded in fine luscious caramel.
Finish: Long. Fruit and caramel linger for ages before drying to oak at the very end.
Comments: Eminently sippable and complex. The elements present are very well balanced. It would hold up very well in a cocktail with high- quality mixers.
