Michter's 2019 Limited Release Toasted Barrel Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey
In stock
A limited release Michter's based on their award winning sour mash whiskey.
It is made by taking Michter’s US1 Sour Mash Whiskey and then ageing it for an additional period of time in a second custom made barrel. This second barrel is assembled from 18-month air-dried wood and then toasted but not charred.
Several different levels of toast for the second barrel were evaluated before our production team led by Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson decided on the one that would best display the elegant nuances of this remarkable whiskey.
Toffee and buttery vanilla notes up front with fragrant honey, milk chocolate, and a hint of orange peel. Mid-palate the toasty campfire notes appear and intensify the cherry and spice notes in this elegant whiskey.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich copper-amber with luminous golden honey tones and caramel-bronze edges, inviting and warm.
Nose
Toffee and buttery vanilla open the aroma, with fragrant honey, milk chocolate, and a bright whisper of orange peel.
Palate
Toffee and buttery vanilla lead the palate, with fragrant honey, milk chocolate, and a hint of orange peel. Mid-palate, toasty campfire notes rise and intensify the cherry and spice, delivering an elegant, lasting finish.
Finish
Long, warm finish with toasted vanilla and toffee lingering, kissed by honey and orange zest. Subtle chocolate-cherry sweetness persists as delicate spice threads weave through the finish, while oak’s toasted warmth lingers gracefully on the palate.
