Michter's Tasting & Pairing

Step into "The Parlor" at ICC for the October gathering of the ICC Barrel Aged Society, an evening centered on American whiskey, premium cigars, and the kind of conversation best enjoyed in a proper cigar lounge.

This month, Chris Hockenberry leads us through three Michter’s expressions: US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon, US1 Sour Mash, and US*1 Unblended American Whiskey. We’ll explore the story behind Michter’s, what separates each expression, and how those differences show up in the glass.

Settle into the lounge, light up a favorite cigar, and taste all three side by side as we break down their aromas, flavors, finishes, and ideal cigar pairings.
