Copper & Cask 20-Year Hazmat Cigar Blend is a blended Canadian whisky that was matured for two decades and made up of only fifteen barrels. The whisky was first matured for nineteen years in the original barrels in Alberta, Canada, before being blended in micro-batches and re-barreled in a combination of Tawny Port and Armagnac casks. After a few months of finishing, the whisky is married together before bottling.

The result is a complex, memorable 145.2-proof whisky that begins with a nose of ripe fruits, candied orange peels, vanilla beans, and light spices. The palate is a mix of ripe berries, dried cherries, sticky toffee pudding, vanilla beans, and chocolate. It’s big and bold and deserves to be enjoyed neat or with a splash or two of water to open up the nose and palate.

If you're a whiskey drinker, you know what a big deal it is when Michter's releases one of its annual expressions. This time, it's the award-winning, fan-favorite Michter's 10-Year Kentucky Straight Rye.

If you didn't know it already, Michter's takes a unique aging approach. It's not just matured for ten years, and it's ready to go. Instead, the whiskey isn't allowed to be bottled until it reaches a specific flavor profile. It's not ready for consumers until Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee and Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson say so. That said, even though this beloved expression that "10 Year", it likely spent a little longer in the barrel.
