A true American original — Michter's US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey was the distillery's most popular expression in the 1970s and 80s before disappearing from the market in 1989, making a triumphant return in 2012. With a unique grain selection that defies categorization as either rye or bourbon, it earned the distinction of being named Whisky of the Year 2019 by The Whisky Exchange — the first American whiskey ever to receive that honor.

ABV: 43%  |  Size: 750ml

FAQs

What is sour mash?
A production process where some previously fermented mash is used to start the new fermentation — similar to sourdough bread — ensuring consistency and adding a subtle complexity that defines Michter's distinctive flavor profile.

Why is it neither rye nor bourbon?
Michter's uses a proprietary grain selection that doesn't meet the legal mashbill requirements for either category — making it a uniquely American whiskey style that stands entirely on its own.
