Michter’s Releases US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey

This September, Michter’s will release its US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey.

This whiskey is part of Michter’s series of whiskeys finished in toasted uncharred barrels.

“In 2014 our Michter’s team didn’t realize that we were putting the Toasted Uncharred Barrel Finish category on the map when we released our bourbon finished in a second barrel that was toasted but not charred and named it Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon,” says Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. “This 2025 release of Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey is really special.”

The 2025 release of Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey follows on the heels of releases of Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon and Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Rye.

“At Michter’s, we value American whiskey making traditions, but we are always experimenting and looking for innovative ways to make great whiskeys,” says Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. “We’re proud that we were able to show how good fully matured whiskey finished in a second barrel that was toasted but not charred can be. The second toasted only barrel really complements the flavors of the Sour Mash and deepens the rich honey, burnt sugar, and citrus spice notes with smoky vanilla reminiscent of a cozy campfire.”

Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash is 86 proof (43% ABV). It’s U.S. suggested retail price is $110 per 750-ml. bottle.

Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee adds, “Our Sour Mash Whiskey is an interesting whiskey that has the attributes of a really good bourbon yet finishes a bit like a rye. It’s a whiskey that is a terrific candidate for finishing in the second barrel that is toasted but not charred.”
