Michter's US1 SB Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey (2025) Fire-charred New American White Oak Barrel 43.0

Michter’s US★1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey (2025) is a Limited-Release expression built upon the foundation of Michter’s acclaimed US★1 Sour Mash Whiskey, which earned the prestigious “Whisky of the Year” title from The Whisky Exchange in 2019, marking the first American whiskey to receive this honor. Crafted in small batches in Kentucky, this whiskey undergoes additional aging in a second, custom-made barrel constructed from 18-month air-dried wood that is toasted but not charred, a process overseen by Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson to enhance its distinctive character.

Bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV), the whiskey begins with a mash bill from an undisclosed Kentucky distillery, first aged in fire-charred new American white oak barrels before its secondary maturation in the toasted barrels. This unique double-barrel process aims to elevate the base Sour Mash profile, offering a refined and nuanced sipping experience for whiskey enthusiasts.
