Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash is an extraordinary expression from one of the most celebrated and iconic American whiskey brands of our era — Michter's, with roots tracing back to America's pre-revolutionary distilling history. This bottling takes Michter's signature US*1 Original Sour Mash whiskey and gives it a second life in a custom-toasted, 18-month air-dried oak barrel for added depth and complexity. The result is a layered, beautifully aromatic whiskey with extraordinary refinement. The nose explodes with toffee, butterscotch, vanilla cupcakes, milk chocolate, and a hint of orange peel layered with warm baking spice. On the palate, expect ripe apricot and plum, banana foster richness, raisin bread pudding, vanilla, honey, and a creamy, rounded mouthfeel. The finish is medium-long with warm spice, lingering caramel, and just a touch of toasted oak. A coveted bottle for collectors and serious whiskey enthusiasts — limited release with consistent critical acclaim.
