Michter's Introduces the 2025 US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey

Michter's Launches 2025 US1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey

This forthcoming September marks an exciting event for whiskey enthusiasts as Michter's prepares to launch its US1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey, adding a sought-after edition to its acclaimed series of whiskeys. Renowned for its innovative distilling techniques, Michter's continues to push the boundaries of traditional whiskey production.

The origins of this unique whiskey can be traced back to 2014 when Michter's President Joseph J. Magliocco highlighted the significance of the Toasted Uncharred Barrel Finish category that the brand pioneered. The forthcoming 2025 release builds upon the success of Michter's previous releases, which have included both Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon and Rye, showcasing their commitment to excellence in whiskey craftsmanship.

Michter's has a storied legacy in the whiskey industry, emphasizing the richness of American whiskey traditions while simultaneously embracing experimental methods. With each limited production offering, Michter's ensures that its whiskey reaches peak maturity. The upcoming Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey promises to populate the palate with delightful nuances, enhancing the flavor profile of classic sour mash.

Master of Maturation, Andrea Wilson, notes that the second barrel used for finishing purposes has not been charred, allowing the whiskey’s flavors to shine through with clarity. Wilson describes the profile as being characterized by rich honey, burnt sugar, and citrus spice, all wrapped in a warm smoky vanilla reminiscent of a cozy campfire setting. This unique character is expected to offer whiskey drinkers a distinctive experience, setting it apart from traditional offerings.

Sharing further insights, Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee describes the exceptional nature of Sour Mash Whiskey, combining traits of both bourbon and rye. He emphasizes that the unique finishing process in the toasted second barrel not only complements the experience but enhances the finish, imbuing the whiskey with depth and complexity.

The release aligns with notable accolades received by Michter's, including the distinction of being named The World’s Most Admired Whiskey by Drinks International for two consecutive years. Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey arrives at an ABV of 43% (86 proof) with a suggested retail price of $110 for a 750ml bottle.

For whiskey aficionados seeking to expand their collection or simply indulge in exceptional craftsmanship, the upcoming Michter's release is certainly one to watch.
