Michter's US*1 Small Batch Sour Mash Whiskey is crafted at the Louisville Distilling Company using a sour mash process with select grains, bottled at 43% ABV. The nose presents marshmallow, vanilla, cinnamon, and stone fruit. The palate opens with honey and caramel sweetness, evolving to warm baking spices, candied cherry, and light oak, with a lingering finish of roasted coffee and spice.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Michters Original Sour Mash Whiskey was the distillerys single most popular product. While the Sour Mash moniker originated from the whiskey production process of the same name whereby some previously fermented mash is used as the starter for the new mash to be fermented, much like making sourdough bread Michters Original Sour Mash earned distinction for its unique taste. With its unique grain selection, it cannot be categorized as a rye or a bourbon. After disappearing from the market in 1989, Michters Original Sour Mash Whiskey made a triumphant return in 2012 with its introduction into the US 1 line. Staying true to the profile and palette of its predecessor, Michters US 1 Sour Mash has quickly become a favorite of whiskey enthusiasts.
