Michter's US*1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey

During the 1970s and 1980s, Michter€™s Original Sour Mash Whiskey was the distillery€™s single most popular product. While the €œSour 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 categorized 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 US*1 line. Staying true to the profile and palette of its predecessor, Michter€™s US*1 Sour Mash has quickly become a favorite of whiskey enthusiasts.
