Michter's US*1 Limited Release Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey 86 Proof 750ml

Michter's Toasted Barrel Sour Mash starts with Michter's US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey and gives it a second stint in a custom-made barrel that is toasted but not charred. The wood for that second barrel was air-dried for 18 months first.

Toasting caramelises the sugars in the oak without the charcoal layer of a charred barrel, so it adds sweetness and a campfire warmth rather than smoke. Toffee and buttery vanilla come first, with honey, milk chocolate and a hint of orange peel; then the toasty notes build mid-palate and lift the cherry and spice. It's bottled at 86 proof (43%).

It's a limited release for the Michter's collector. For the house's annual sour mash tribute, there's Shenk’s Homestead 2025.

Sip it neat or over a single large cube.
