Description

Michter's US-1 Small Batch Sour Mash Whiskey is a unique American whiskey that cannot be categorized as a bourbon or a rye due to its distinct grain selection. It is produced in small batches in Louisville, Kentucky, using high-quality ingredients and traditional methods. The whiskey is aged in fire-charred, new American white oak barrels until it reaches maturity. This expression made a triumphant return in 2012, having been Michter's most popular product in the 1970s and 1980s, and was named 'Whisky Of The Year' for 2019 by The Whisky Exchange. It is known for starting out like a bourbon and finishing like a rye, offering a complex and well-balanced flavor profile.
