New Batch of Michter’s Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Coming Next Month

Michter’s will ship a new batch of it’s Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey in September. This whiskey is part of Michter’s series of whiskeys finished in toasted uncharred barrels, which began with their Toasted Barrel Rye Whiskey. This year has seen a Toasted Barrel Rye and Toasted Barrel Bourbon thus far.

The root Sour Mash Whiskey is a modern take on a classic, lost when the fallout of the Great Whiskey Bust of the 1970s and 80s claimed the original Michter’s distillery, Bombergers of Pennsylvania. The mash bill has never been stated, but it is believed to have corn and rye content both below the threshold necessary to be called either bourbon or rye.

“In 2014 our Michter’s team didn’t realize that we were putting the Toasted Uncharred Barrel Finish category on the map when we released our bourbon finished in a second barrel that was toasted but not charred and named it Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon,” stated Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. “This 2025 release of Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey is really special.”

Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash is 86 proof (43% ABV). Its U.S. suggested retail price is $110 per 750ml bottle.
