Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey (2022 Release)
Other Whiskey
Michter's // Kentucky, USA
Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey begins with the brand's fully matured Sour Mash Whiskey--although not disclosed, this mash bill doesn't have enough corn to qualify as a bourbon nor enough rye to qualify as a rye. That whiskey is then placed into toasted barrels to mature further.
The toast level for these secondary barrels was selected by Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. Available in the US and export markets as of September 2022, this is just the second time this whiskey has been released following its initial launch in 2019.

Tasting Notes
"The nose is like sniffing a pecan pie that has some toasted sesame seeds in the buttery crust next to a leather chair. The pecan-maple flavors continue on the palate mixed with both golden and tart apples with an oaky grip. The finish continues with an almost buttery, maple richness set off by clove, cinnamon, and toasted oak. This is the sort of bourbon that would pair beautifully with fruit pies and vanilla ice cream, or perhaps a rich, creamy cheese. "
