A fantastic revival of a historic classic! During the 1970s and 80s, Michter's Original Sour Mash was the distillery's single most popular product. It utilizes a highly unique mash bill that doesn't legally qualify as either a rye or a bourbon, but rather sits beautifully right in the middle of the flavor spectrum. Bottled at 86 proof, it offers the sweet, deep caramel and vanilla notes of a great bourbon seamlessly combined with the rich, warming spice of a classic rye.
NOSE
Sweet and complex with prominent aromas of warm cinnamon, honey, toasted nuts, and butterscotch.
PALATE
Incredibly smooth and layered. Sweet flavors of rich butter, brown sugar, and vanilla give way to a beautiful, spicy rye backbone.
FINISH
Clean, smooth, and lingering with sweet honey and gentle baking spices.
