Michter's US Number 1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey

THE FIRST TO BE NAMED THE BEST - Michter’s US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey has earned many distinctions for its smooth, yet subtly spicy taste. 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. WARM, BURNT SUGAR (AND A LITTLE BIT OF SPICE) - Michter's US*1 Sour Mash is the best of both worlds. With its unique grain selection, it can’t be classified as a bourbon or rye, but rather its profile is the perfect blend of each. Flavors of warm toasted burnt sugar notes with spice, sweet, smoky fruit, candied cherries, and honeyed vanilla - Michter’s US*1 Sour Mash starts out like a bourbon, but finishes like a rye. SMALL BATCH, LIMITED QUANTITIES - During the 1970s and 1980s, Michter’s Original Sour Mash Whiskey was the distillery’s single most popular product. Using previously fermented mash as a starter for the new mash to be fermented -- much like a sour dough bread - the “Sour Mash” moniker was born. Michter’s US*1 Sour Mash utilizes this production process alongside an unparalleled and unique grain selection, quickly becoming a favorite of whiskey enthusiasts. A ‘COST BE DAMNED’ APPROACH - Michter's produces the finest quality Sour Mash Whiskey. Many of the processes used to make Michter's cost more, from seasoning all their wood for an extended period as well as the barrel entry proof being the lowest in the industry. Michter’s adopts a “Cost be Damned” approach to its production with a focus on quality. ENJOY NEAT OR IN COCKTAILS - Michter’s US*1 Sour Mash can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks to show the complex flavour and finesse of the whiskey. It’s also ideal in cocktails from an Old Fashioned to the Whiskey Sour.
