MICHTERS SOUR MASH TOASTED BARREL FINISH 750ML

Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey is a limited‑release American whiskey crafted by Michter’s Distillery in Kentucky. It begins as Michter’s acclaimed US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey — a smooth, classic sour mash expression — and then undergoes a secondary finish in toasted (not charred) oak barrels made from air‑dried wood. This unique finish adds extra depth, sweetness, and complexity compared with standard sour mash expressions.

Description

This whiskey showcases Michter’s signature craftsmanship with an elegant balance of rich flavors and subtle spice. The toasted barrel finish enhances the spirit’s profile, bringing forward layers of honeyed vanilla, toasted oak, dried fruit, citrus zest, and gentle baking spices, resulting in a smooth and approachable yet richly flavorful pour. It’s bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) and is appreciated for both sipping neat and elevated cocktails.
