This September, Michter's will release its US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey. This new release 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," stated Michter's president Joseph J. Magliocco. "This 2025 release of Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey is really special."

Andrea Wilson, Michter’s master of maturation, added: "At Michter's, we value American whiskey making traditions, but we are always experimenting and looking for innovative ways to make great whiskeys. 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.”

Master distiller Dan McKee commented, "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."

Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash is 86 proof (43% ABV) with the suggested retail price of $110 per 750ml bottle. For more information about Michter's, visit the distillery’s official website.
