In September 2019, Michter's Distillery will release its US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey for sale to U.S. and export markets. While Michter's has released US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon and US*1 Toasted Barrel Strength Rye in the past, this will mark the first ever release of Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey.
When Michter's US*1 Sour Mash was selected by The Whisky Exchange as "Whisky of the Year" for 2019, it marked the first time that any whiskey from the United States had ever achieved this honor. This award winning whiskey is at the heart of Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey. To make this special Toasted release, Michter's starts with fully matured barrels of its US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey and transfers the whiskey into specially toasted barrels for additional aging. "We've been very happy with how our Toasted Barrel Bourbon and Toasted Barrel Strength Rye releases have come out, and we discovered that our Sour Mash Whiskey is also wonderful for toasted barrel finishing,"
