Description
During the 1970s and 1980s, Michter’s Original Sour Mash Whiskey was the distillery’s 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 – Michter’s Original Sour Mash earned distinction for its unique taste.
With its unique grain selection, it cannot be categorised as a rye or a bourbon.
After disappearing from the market in 1989, Michter’s Original Sour Mash Whiskey made a triumphant return in 2012 with its introduction into the US1 line.
Staying true to the profile and palate of its predecessor, Michter’s US1 Sour Mash has quickly become a favourite of whiskey enthusiasts.
Tasting Notes
Nose: As a unique bourbon/rye hybrid, the nose lends aromas of chewy caramel and nougat, sweet stewed stone fruits, vanilla and spice.
Palate: The flavours are rich and sweet with honey, butterscotch, and more vanilla, delicate eucalyptus, and bold spice with candied berries and orange peel.
Finish: The finish lingers with spicy ginger, black pepper and cinnamon spice with hints of cooked fruits on the tail end.
