MICHTER’S US 1 KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON MICHTER’S US 1 SOUR MASH Small Batch Kentucky, American Whiskey, 43%, 750ml Aged in fire-charred, new American White Oak Barrels The “Sour Mash” moniker originated from the whiskey production process of the same name (much like making sourdough bread) –but with its unique grain selection, it cannot be categorised as a rye or a bourbon.
