When Michter's US*1 Sour Mash was selected by The Whisky Exchange as "Whisky of the Year" for 2019, it marked the first time that the United States had achieved the honour. The recognition harked back to the 1970s and 1980s, when Michter’s Original Sour Mash was the distillery’s most popular line. Much like making sourdough bread, the “Sour Mash” moniker originated from the production process of the same name: previously fermented mash is used as the starter for the new mash.

The same award winning whiskey is at the heart of Michter's Toasted Barrel Sour Mash, only as the name suggests, it's finished in specially toasted barrels. According to Michter's Master Distiller, significant consideration went into the type of toast that was best suited to the whiskey. "The toast profile used to finish our Toasted Barrel Sour Mash differs from both the toast profile used for our Toasted Bourbon and the toast profile used for our Toasted Barrel Strength Rye.... A milder toast was chosen to enhance the toffee character of the US*1 Sour Mash and provide a hint of campfire on the finish. After evaluating different degrees of toasting, we selected a level that would provide the toasty profile people enjoy while complementing the elegance of the sour mash whiskey."
