Michter’s US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey Toasted Barrel Finish

Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash is one of the most distinctive expressions in the Michter’s lineup a sour mash whiskey that undergoes a secondary finishing period in a custom toasted (not charred) new American oak barrel. This additional maturation step imparts a unique layer of sweetness and spice that sets it apart from both traditional bourbon and standard sour mash expressions.

Produced at Michter’s Fort Nelson Distillery in Louisville, KY, this release reflects the brand’s commitment to non-chill filtration, careful barrel selection, and small-batch craftsmanship. The toasted barrel finish adds complexity without overwhelming the spirit’s natural character a subtle but transformative touch.
