Michter's US*1 Original Sour Mash

Michter's US*1 Small Batch Original Sour Mash Whiskey is distinguished by its unique production process, using a portion of previously fermented mash to start fermentation, akin to the traditional sour mash technique. This small batch whiskey is celebrated for its intricate tasting profile, opening with warm, toasted burnt sugar notes and transitioning through a melody of spice, sweet smoky fruit, and candied cherries, coupled with a smooth honeyed vanilla character. Although it cannot be strictly classified as bourbon or rye due to its grain composition, it starts with a bourbon-like sweetness and rounds off with the distinct finish of a rye, providing a versatile and admired tasting experience. This whiskey has earned the title of "2023 World's Most Admired Whiskey," showcasing its exceptional quality and flavor complexity.
