About Ha Michters Us*1 Sour Mash Whiskey
Michter's US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey is a blended whiskey produced by Chatham Imports Inc., bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) and available in 750ml for $37.50. Distinct from bourbon due to its undisclosed mashbill, it employs the sour mash process—using fermented mash from previous batches to control pH and enhance flavor consistency—delivering a silky smooth, sweet profile with notes of caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, and subtle spice. What makes it special is its approachable, old-fashioned charm: potent yet comforting aromas, a likable sweet palate propped by creamy mouthfeel, and enough zest to stand out without overwhelming complexity. Ideal for casual whiskey drinkers, bourbon novices, or rye enthusiasts seeking a hybrid-like sipper or mixer. In its category, it punches above its price with superior silkiness compared to many entry-level blends, offering better value than average 86-proof options despite a simpler finish, making it a versatile daily driver over bolder, pricier pours.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Potent caramel dominates alongside fresh apple and nutmeg, with vanilla and cinnamon adding warmth and a classic bourbon-like sweetness. Subtle surprises like anise or dark caramel with spiced corn emerge beneath an initial alcohol whiff. It's a comforting, zestful collection lacking deep complexity but full of inviting appeal.
👅 Palate
Silky smooth and instantly likable, it bursts with butterscotch, vanilla, caramel, toffee, and coffee cake sweetness. Cherry, raspberry, and cinnamon bun notes follow, evoking an old-fashioned vibe with medium body and rye spice accents. The 86 proof delivers satisfying flavor without harshness, blending creamy consistency and subtle herbs or barrel char.
✨ Finish
Dry and earthy with lingering tobacco, brown sugar, and a singular spice note. Minty and light, it's somewhat lackluster but soft overall.
