The "Sour Mash" derives its name from the American Whiskey production process whereby previously fermented 'mash' (a solution of grain and water which forms the base for all whiskies) is used as the starter for the new mash to be fermented - much like making sourdough bread. 

Michter’s US★1 Barrel Strength Sour Mash Kentucky Whiskey is the first barrel strength version of their award winning Sour Mash expression, released in May 2026.Unlike bourbon or rye, its unique grain recipe—an undisclosed mix of corn, rye, and malted barley—does not meet the 51% threshold for either category, making it a true sour mash whiskey.The whiskey is distilled according to Michter’s classic sour mash method, matured in new charred white oak barrels, and bottled atbarrel strength, 55.8% for the 2026 release.

Each barrel is bottled at its natural alcohol level and undergoes Michter’s signature filtration for smoothness

About the distillery

Michter's distilling heritage traces back to 1753 when Swiss Mennonite farmer John Shenk founded the original whiskey company and distillery in the Pennsylvania Blue Mountain Valley.

Michter's more recent history, however, really begins in the 1990s when two men sought to revive the much loved (but sadly declined) brand down in Kentucky, the heartland of American Whiskey.

Their aim was simple: to honour the Michter's legacy by producing the best whiskey possible, cost be damned!

The Michter's range of US*1 Whiskies offer a truly delicious insight into the long history of the company, and indeed American Whiskey production.

Crafted using only the finest ingredients and traditional, costly techniques, there's a rich yet mellow character to these gorgeous whiskeys, which are hard to match for sheer enjoyability.

As John Mariani of Bloomberg points out, these are American Whiskeys whose elegance and complexity will stand up to any Scotch or Cognac drinkers palate.
