A gift basket built around Michter's US★1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon, a small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon from a Louisville distillery known for releasing whiskey only when its tasting panel approves it. The bourbon is batched in tanks sized to hold no more than twenty barrels, so every barrel has to stand on its own rather than being blended away. It drinks nuanced, mellow and earthy, with the corn-forward sweetness typical of Kentucky straight bourbon. It suits someone who already likes bourbon and wants a gift that is easy to pour neat or over ice, rather than a cask-strength or heavily aged special release.

Michter's US★1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is widely regarded as a smooth, approachable everyday bourbon, and owners often describe it as mellow and easy to sip neat. Some experienced drinkers find it too gentle and light for the money compared with higher-proof or older bourbons.
This gift basket pairs a 750ml bottle of Michter's US★1 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon with four gourmet snacks. It arrives in a themed gift box with a personal gift message.
The US★1 name honors Michter's heritage as America's first whiskey company. The bourbon is distilled to Master Distiller Dan McKee's specifications. It is not released until he and the Michter's tasting panel judge it ready.
The bourbon is made from a carefully selected mashbill that features high-quality American corn. Each batch is held in a tank sized for a maximum of twenty full barrels. The bourbon is nuanced, mellow and earthy.
