Sale price

Regular price $119.00Michter's Sour Mash awarded by 92 Jim Murray
Michter's Sour Mash Whiskey is a uniquely American expression that bridges the line between bourbon and rye, delivering a balanced and richly nuanced flavour profile. This whiskey revives one of Michter’s most historic styles — the original Michter's Sour Mash recipe that helped build its reputation in the 20th century. It’s called “Sour Mash” because a portion of a prior fermentation mash is used to start the new one, a technique that enhances consistency and depth.
Crafted in small batches and bottled at 43% ABV, Michter's Sour Mash is neither a bourbon nor a rye by legal definition, but offers the best of both worlds. On the nose, expect warm notes of cinnamon, toasted nuts, and vanilla. The palate unfolds with caramel, maple syrup, gentle spice, and a hint of smoke, leading to a soft, balanced finish.
What makes it so good is Michter’s meticulous attention to detail: low-barrel entry proof, air-dried wood for barrels, and heat-cycled aging warehouses — all contributing to its smoothness and complexity. This whiskey is versatile, elegant, and easy to enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails. It’s a standout for those who appreciate craftsmanship and a beautifully rounded American whiskey.
