In September 2022, Michter’s Distillery will release its US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey for sale to U.S. and export markets. This whiskey was released once before in 2019.

To make this special Toasted release, Michter’s starts with fully matured barrels of its US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey. It is then transferred into specially toasted barrels for additional aging. The precise toast profile of the second barrel is selected by Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.

When 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, the Fort Nelson Distillery features the legendary pot still system from the distillery in 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.
