Upon its being named “Whisky Of The Year” for 2019 by The Whisky Exchange, Michter’s US 1 Sour Mash Whiskey became the first whiskey made in the United States to ever achieve this honor.
While the “Sour Mash” moniker originated from the whiskey production process of the same name – whereby some previously fermented mash is used as the starter for the new mash to be fermented, much like making sourdough bread – Michter’s Sour Mash earned distinction for its unique taste. With its unique grain selection, it cannot be categorized as a rye or a bourbon.
Profile: Kentucky whiskey. Fire-charred, new American white oak barrels. Warm toasted burnt sugar notes with spice, sweet, smoky fruit, candied cherries, and honeyed vanilla, remarkably elegant. Starts out like a bourbon, finishes like a rye. 86 Proof
