"At Michter's we're proud of the great work done by our production team to
create our Toasted program," commented Michter's President Joseph J. Magliocco.
"We are always trying new things as we endeavor to make highest quality
whiskeys, and with the 2014 release of our US*1 Toasted Barrel Bourbon we
became the first company to offer a toasted barrel American whiskey. It's great
to see how this new category has taken off over the past 8 years."
To make this special Toasted release, Michter's starts with fully matured
barrels of its US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey. "The heart of this toasted product is a
wonderful whiskey that begins on the palate like a sweet and delicious bourbon
and then has a rye-like spice on the finish," said Michter's Master Distiller
Dan McKee. Michter's US*1 Sour Mash is then transferred into specially toasted
barrels for additional aging. The precise toast profile of the second barrel is
artfully selected by Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. About her
toast selection, Wilson observed, "The 2022 Toasted Sour Mash release takes the
Sour Mash expression and enhances it by adding notes of smoked honey and
gingersnap cookies accentuated by toasted oak, all while honoring the sweet and
spicy balance of our US*1 Sour Mash. Working on the Toasted series really
brings forward the influence of the barrel and represents the dedication of the
Michter's team to continuously provide exceptional whiskey."
When Michter's US*1 Sour Mash, the base of this Toasted release, was selected
by The Whisky Exchange as "Whisky of the Year" for 2019, it marked the first
time that any whiskey from the United States had ever achieved this honor.
Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey is 86 proof and will sell in
the U.S. for a suggested retail price of $100 per 750ml bottle.
Beyond its main distillery in the Shively section of Louisville, Michter's
operations extend to two other sites in Kentucky. In Springfield, Michter's is
farming estate grown grain on its 205-acre property, while in downtown
Louisville, Michter's has its second distillery in the historic Fort Nelson
Building. Situated in a prime location on West Main Street opposite Louisville
Slugger and on the same block as the Frazier Museum, Michter's Fort Nelson
Distillery features the legendary pot still system from Michter's Pennsylvania.
It also has educational tours with whiskey tastings and The Bar at Fort Nelson,
which features classic cocktails curated by spirits and cocktail historian
David Wondrich.
Michter's makes highly acclaimed, limited production whiskeys that are subject
to allocation because demand has exceeded supply. Michter's is renowned for its
small batch bourbon, single barrel bourbon, single barrel rye, small batch
American whiskey, and small batch sour mash whiskey.
In October 2021, Michter's was named the Most Admired American Whiskey in a

Top Trending American Whiskey brand by Drinks International in their Annual
