Michter's US *1 Original Sour Mash

Product Info

During the 1970s and 1980s, Michter's Original Sour Mash Whiskey was the distillery's most popular single product. While the name "sour mash" derives from the eponymous whiskey-making process of using a portion of a previously fermented mash to start a new batch, similar to making sourdough bread, Michter's Original Sour Mash set itself apart with its distinctive flavor profile. This unique grain blend prevented it from being classified as a rye or bourbon. After being removed from the market in 1989, Michter's Original Sour Mash Whiskey made a triumphant return in 2012 as part of the US★1 line. Retaining the character and flavor of its predecessor, Michter's US★1 Sour Mash quickly became a favorite among whiskey enthusiasts.
