The Story
Michters US*1 Small Batch Sour Mash Whiskey
Michterâs 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, Michterâs 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, Michterâs US 1 Sour Mash has quickly become a favorite of whiskey enthusiasts.
This is a really lovely, very fruity whiskey. The Nose is all apples, with a touch of caramel behind it. Supple and silky, that fruitiness continues on into the body, with an apple pie character that is far too easy to drink, and doesnât Taste at all like itâs been bottled at a solid 86 proof. Not too sweet and lightly wooded, the graininess of the spirit is all but gone, a touch of corn on the mid-palate and a bit of popcorn on the Finish are all that remind you that youâre drinking a whiskey instead of chowing down on dessert.
Beautifully rich and spicy, this sour-mash whiskey from Michter's has an abundance of cinnamon, butter and nutty notes, along with a hint of black pepper to freshen things up.
