Michter's isn't sourcing anymore. Before 2004 everything was sourced. In 2004, they contracted with Brown Foreman to contract distill for them. That lasted until 2016. In 2016 that contract ended and they started distilling all their own stuff. There's probably still some Brown Forman distillate in the regular Michter's, but it's also likely that it's all or mostly their own stuff by now given the heat cycling they do. Coincidentally, that timeframe supports when we got Early Times BIB and the Old Forester Rye. I've always believed those are both just the same michter's products, they just kept making them after the contract ended. But using cheaper barrels and a higher barrel entry proof.
I don't think they've produced anything that's been sold in stores yet based on the information on their website. It sounds experimental and very small scale. The bottles still say "bottled by Michter's" and not "distilled by Michter's". There would definitely be some kind of change in taste that people would recognize. Not to mention distributers and people in the bourbon community would be notifying everyone of this change. There's probably an ongoing contract with Brown Forman that hasn't expired. I could be wrong but it would be stupid to not change the label and nobody has outright confirmed the change has occurred.
Since Michters costs almost twice as much as Buffalo Trace at $40 vs $22 respectively here in Cali, I would hope that Mick is miles better than BT in the same way that the $22 BT would most likely be better than a $10 whiskey. Good to know that it's actually the case here this time. Thanks for the review.
Buffalo trace was my intro into bourbon neat. I found Michters last year and its now my absolute favorite sub 100 daily sipper. Hands down. Its about $40-45 here in CA where as BT is anywhere from $18-25. Very available. I’ll still pay more for the Michters. But i do have a store pick of BT that is amazing. If i could find it all the time, ER would be my go to. But that still isnt super available so i limit that to a weekend pour.
I would hope Michter's would win. I can get Buffalo Trace out here in CA for $19.99 all day long. Michter's $40-$45. That said I much prefer Michter's. Did just pick up 5 bottles of Eagle Rare for $31.99 each on sale at a Ralph's grocery store this weekend. Gave 2 away to friends. Drank one with friends at a party we went to and kept 2 for the bar.
Great comparison. I have both on my shelf and never thought to do a head to head. When I can find Buffalo Trace it's $20 cheaper than Michter's...but I have to find it first. Michter's is way more available in WI.
I work at a SE Wisconsin liquor store. We aren't "privileged" enough to have Buffalo Trace. 3 cases since 2019. I have done the back to back. Michters was so close overall, but the Michters drinks slightly warmer. I have pointed people that way for the past few years, with that caveat. It's the closest product we carry.
A 375ml Buffalo Trace here in NY will cost you $28 and if you can find a 750ml about $50. The Michter's Small Batch is $47. The Michter's Small Batch hands down over Buffalo Trace all day every day! and that's based on taste not price even though the price of BT here in NY is absurd! 🥃Cheers!
After your review, I had to find and purchase a larceny C922. I wasn’t the biggest larceny fan, but after hearing so many good things, you got do what you gotta do. Sipping it now watching this, very good! But what next? I think I’m still gonna wait to see what hear before just blindly buying the next one. Cheers and Thanks Jason
In my area, CT/NY, Buffalo Trace is $50 when you can find it. That puts it right in the same price as Michter's Small Batch. The head to head is legit since there is no price difference. At equal price I prefer the Michter's however if Buffalo Trace ever gets back to is real MSRP I'd go that instead.
I live in the same area and it’s been tough for the Buffalo trace but the last couple weeks I’ve been finding bottles for about the retail price of about 38 bucks
Great video. This is interesting. I've never tried Michter's, but I sipped Buffalo Trace along with this video to see if I could guess which one it was based on your descriptions. And I totally thought the first glass was BT based on your descriptions. I guess I do get the "licorice" on BT, though I've always described it as just "cherry." I'll keep an eye out for Michter's now - can't wait to try it.
Use CLEAR/TRANSPARENT Glencairn glasses for shows. It is helpful to have pours side by side, thus, comparing distillate colors. All things considered, another great show Jason. You are good at what you do. With this in mind, would you pay secondary on Michter's 10?
I would not pay secondary for Michters 10 unless I knew it was an exceptional single barrel. And yes ..I use colored glasses so I'm not influenced by the color of the whiskey
I do like the Michters for a "daily", sweeter bourbon. IMHO, BT is solid, but still kinda "basic", and as such good but not worthy of all the hype. It's just good, but not exceptional.
Wow, that’s a shock. I love me some BT. $30 here in Michigan and the best value in Bourbon in my humble opinion. My daily drinker for sure. But now you got me wanting to give Michters another try.
How about an “Available Single Barrel Double Bass” of Four Roses Single Barrel vs Russell’s Single Barrel? You can generally find these single barrels a lot easier than most.
That Michter’s has been my go to bourbon for nearly two years. I have BT and many others at the house but I’ve always enjoyed sipping on the Michter’s small batch. Great video!
@@funnynotjokin2387 don't!!.... way over hyped and isn't in the same league as Miichters small batch. I honestly don't understand the craze over Buffalo Trace....it's not very good at all.
Interesting. I've just purchased my first bottle of Buffalo Trace (which I'm drinking for the first time as I watch this and type my comment) and the last bourbon I had was a Michter's, and the memory of the Michter's seems to be better than the Buffalo trace. But let me be clear: I'm a heathen because I drink any bourbon with classic coca-cola. I've tried drinking it straight with a sprig of mint, but it's too bitter. I can't stand whiskey or vodka or gin, but when I discovered Bourbon in my late teens (1960s - I'm 72 now) I thought it was the nectar of the gods. Over the years I've drunk mostly Jim Beam (because it's cheaper than the rest of the available bourbons in New Zealand and it's pretty smooth, and it's also usually the only bourbon we see in bars here) and I tried Jack Daniells once but let's face it - it's NOT bourbon, it's just American whiskey. JD had a huge advertising budget years ago, and I recall all the advertising in Playboy magazine (excellent articles and stories - seriously) that proclaimed how historic its brewery was along with lots of black and white photos. Sure sucked me in, but only once and never since (and I was young and foolish back then). As I got older I forgot about bourbon and drank red wine and beer, but in the last few years I've decided to revert back to my mis-spent youth and imbibe a good bourbon every now and then. My son bought me some Jim Beam Devil's Cut and I enjoyed it, but a trip to Wellington two yeasr ago led me into a small bar tucked in an alley, and I tried, for the first time, a Michter's and coke. Man, what a revelation - it was the smoothest, sweetest, most flavorsome bourbon I've ever had (even though it cost NZ$20 per glass with coke). I even bought two glasses for me and two for my colleague. Since then I've gone through two bottles but then I tried Makers Mark. Big reputation from what I've read, but nothing special in my eyes. You guys in the USA need to remember that although we in NZ import a lot of different bourbons, the price here is not cheap (eg, NZ$600 for a 700 mL bottle of Blanton's BLACK bourbon, or NZ$72 for the 700 mL Buffalo Trace I just bought and NZ$110 for the Michter's 700 mL. Another thing that I don't see mentioned very often is that the higher the alcohol content then the less flavorsome. This is because the alcohol dampens most flavors (similar to a really hot Indian curry compared to a less-hot but more flavorsome curry) so I'd like to try a bourbon with a lower alcohol content sometime if any commenters can point me to one - thanks in advance. Anyway, bottom lie is that as of right now, half-way through my Buffalo Trace and coke, I think I'll be going back to the Michter's despite the higher cost in NZ. Last point: by the time we reach our 4th of 5th glass, they all taste pretty good.
I think it's crazy how hard it is for people in your area to get Buffalo Trace when it's distilled right next door. I saw a video from Kentucky where it was on a limit 1 table with a bunch of allocated bourbons... and that's in KY! Out here in CA it is readily available at every store in my town for $26/bottle.... blows my mind man....
Great video. As soon as you said “soft,” I knew which was which. Idea for a future Double Bass: Recently I got a bottle of Widow Jane Decadence. I thought it was delicious but over priced. On my first sip, it reminded me of Woodford Double Oaked, which is about half the price of WJD. I plan to do a blind with those two soon, myself.
Picking up the “grape note” that is present in a lot of BT products when you knew which bottle it was is interesting. Was it there or was it a sense memory coming out??
Great video! I can pretty easily get BT for $27 and Michter's is usually around $38. I've only had this Michter's once in a bar and with all the grilled food smells, I couldn't really experience it and at the price point, I'm not exactly running to the stores. Cheers!
I may have a poor batch of Michter’s bourbon. I love their standard rye SB’s…but I’m not at all a fan of their standard bourbon. I just set it out at parties now. I should do it blind again. Been a minute since I’ve done that. Cheers.
How bout battle of the low-Proof Sib store picks? Do a blind of 3-4 low proof Sib store picks from the same distillery. Do this for 3 or 4 different distilleries, so one episode for each distillery. Then put the winners of each distillery together to battle it out for the Sib championship.
Haven’t done these side by side. BT was my gateway, but I’d lean Michter’s nowadays. I’d probably take the Unblended American over both. Best low proofer out there
Hi from Montreal Jason. In my area Buffalo Trace is getting difficult to obtain. However BT is 42.25 and Michter’s 89.50. Canadian obviously. Lot of taxes on whiskeys. Got to pay to get that snow removed 😀. So BT is half the price. I dink more BT. But I do enjoy Michter’s. Take care. How about Buffalo Mick
Nice video on 2 relateable Bourbons. The Michter's Small batch is double plus the price of BT in Canada coast to coast, so unless the Michter's is on a clearance sale, it's a pass. Cheers.
That was a hellava size bowl for that cereal... my guy.. haha. Got to be a big bowl of cereal after some drinking. Oh, and by the way, Michter's small batch all day. All day. Way more viscous. Way more amazing.
Are we going to see a full BiB lineup on Wednesday, 3/1, to commemorate the Bottled-In-Bond Act (3/3)? I just added BBC BiB, Ben Holladay BiB, Cedar Ridge bourbon and rye BiBs and FEW BiB to the collection this week. I love the distilleries are keeping this category alive and that it keeps expanding and growing! There are even BiB gins now. If not during a livestream then perhaps and Death Metal blast beat episode with as many BiBs as you've got 🥃🤘
Off the video topic.. if you ever want to create a mini-series within the channel of educating a newbie to the world of whiskey through blind tasting and whiskey history….I’d be happy to offer my services as I am also in the Cbus area. 😂😂
Well i dont like buffalo trace at all and im not big on michters bourbon (at least for the msrp. If it was 28 or so it would be fine) so that makes sense. Wt101 crushes both imo
I think the same the michter's is better for me as well but it's over 45 bucks here and for me not worth the price when 5 bucks more you can get a rare breed
Opinion | Respectfully disagree. Michter’s drinks like water to me. I get nothing from it in the palate that’s satisfying. It’s like the Coors Light of Bourbon. For me, at least the BT punches through a bit with some great flavors. Overall, just much more satisfying to my palate. So basically the complete opposite, which is very interesting.
I was thinking the one you picked would be the Buffalo Trace. I opened a Michter's the other night and both my friend and I didn't like it. Almost as chemically and bad as Town Branch I picked up in Columbus a few years ago.

Sipping the Michter’s small batch during this review and pretty much agree with everything said. Mitchter’s wins.
Nice review. In Oregon both are pretty much always available. The Michter's Small Batch is $48.95 and BT is 25.95.
In that case. Just get BT.
Same here in East TN
Iirc the Sam's Club up the street here in Louisville has Michter's sb for $38
Agree just bought a Buffalo Trace yesterday in Astoria, they had a lot. Same at the Coast Guard BX and Warrenton.
Michter’s 100%. We find BT overhyped in general. It’s a good $30 bottle, but that’s it.
$23 here in Md.
I thought the standard Buffalo Trace is 6-8 years old if I remember correctly from a tour.
How about a triple bass Michters against 1792 and Elijah Craig small batches? Does the flavor profile of Michters match either one?
Since Michters costs almost twice as much as Buffalo Trace at $40 vs $22 respectively here in Cali, I would hope that Mick is miles better than BT in the same way that the $22 BT would most likely be better than a $10 whiskey. Good to know that it's actually the case here this time. Thanks for the review.
Michters Bomberger’s Bourbon is unreal. One of my favorite bottles. I’m not surprised!

That's why Michter's Barrel Proof is so good.
Holy crap that intro is sick I love it . Copper and Cask you need to to video it’s MGP all single barrel’s very good 🥃
Speaking of root beer, apparently it is no longer made using the sassafras root but a blend of wintergreen and vanilla.
Have both on my shelf. There is no problem finding Buffalo Trace here in the Pacific Northwest.
the US-1 series is full of hitters, the Sour Mash is my favorite of the bunch

Michter's Rye vs Woodford Rye
I love Buffalo Trace, I sure don't get licorice. I hate licorice.
Michter's is my go to for readily available, daily drinkers. For the price point, I find it hard to beat.
BT is almost half the price.

Love Magic Spoon!!
Buffalo Trace. 25.99……..Michter’s…….29.99……both at Indianapolis Sam’s Club
Good stuff. Michters for the win.
Have you compared the Angel's Envy port vs. Isaac Bowman port? For the blend name, how bout Mich Trace, that's better than Buffaloter's🤣
I think the same the michter's is better for me as well but it's over 45 bucks here and for me not worth the price when 5 bucks more you can get a rare breed
Russell's 10 vs michters smb next? I know the 10 years give it an edge but the price and proof are right on. Your turkey bias should prevail!
Regular BT for me is a pass now, store pick BT SB is so much better. Michters is more my jam.
How about Stagg vs Bookers
Love the history. Well done.

Watching this while snacking on some maple waffle magic spoon. Honestly, it's pretty good stuff. Not a fan of the peanut butter varieties though.
Si, great content as always!

Good video
Shocker. I actually prefer Michter's.
My favorite reviewer
Always love the content! How about an all Michters side by side utilizing all of their expressions?
Magic spoon is legit, better than both those bourbons lol
Had to laugh... when I heard "double bass," I pictured a symphony orchestra. 😂 🤷
Opinion | Respectfully disagree. Michter’s drinks like water to me. I get nothing from it in the palate that’s satisfying. It’s like the Coors Light of Bourbon. For me, at least the BT punches through a bit with some great flavors. Overall, just much more satisfying to my palate. So basically the complete opposite, which is very interesting.

Is anyone really selling BT for $40? I see it for $25 (when it’s available)
That Michters might beat the Blantons
I was thinking the one you picked would be the Buffalo Trace. I opened a Michter's the other night and both my friend and I didn't like it. Almost as chemically and bad as Town Branch I picked up in Columbus a few years ago.
Yikes ，my town branch experience was chemically as well.
@@johnmorgan233 yep. Beautiful bottle, terrible bourbon.
Mmmmmm 🤤Muffalo
I don’t think Michter’s is sourced anymore.
