Michters US1 Sour Mash Whiskey is a remarkable spirit that traces its roots back to the 1970s and 1980s when Michters Original Sour Mash was the distillery's most sought-after offering. The term 'Sour Mash' refers to a unique whiskey production method where some previously fermented mash is used as a starter for the new mash, akin to the process of making sourdough bread. This technique contributes to the whiskey's distinctive flavor profile.
What sets Michters US1 apart is its unique grain selection, which defies categorization as either a rye or a bourbon. After a hiatus from the market in 1989, it made a triumphant return in 2012 as part of the US1 line, remaining faithful to the character and palate of its predecessor. Whiskey enthusiasts have quickly embraced Michters US1 Sour Mash, which was honored as Whisky Of The Year for 2019 by The Whisky Exchange, marking a historic achievement as the first whiskey produced in the United States to receive this accolade.
For those looking to enjoy Michters US1 Sour Mash Whiskey, it can be savored neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail, allowing its complex flavors to shine through.
Please drink responsibly.
