About Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey<\/h2>\n

In the 18th century, a Swiss Mennonite farmer by the name of John Shenk settled his family near Pennsylvania\u2019s Blue Mountain Valley. After a few years of hard work and long hours, Shenk was harvesting more grains that he could sell at the local market. As a result, Shenk purchased a still and began distilling the excess grains he harvested into whiskey. His distillery, which was eventually named Michter\u2019s, became the United States\u2019 first distilling company.<\/p>\n

The passage of Prohibition in 1919 forced Michter\u2019s, along with nearly every other distillery in the United States, to close. In the early 1990s, however, Joseph J. Magliocco teamed up with Richard Newman in an effort to resurrect the brand. \u201cWhen we set up our whiskey program for Michter\u2019s,\u201d says Magliocco, \u201cDick and I wanted to get back to the \u201ccost be damned\u201d roots and produce the finest whiskey possible. Our goal was to show that whiskey made in the United States could be the equal of great whiskey made anywhere in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michter\u2019s award-winning US1 Sour Mash Whiskey is the cornerstone of this Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey, made by taking Michter\u2019s US1 Sour Mash Whiskey and aging it for an additional period of time in a secondary bespoke barrel. <\/p>\n

This custom made barrel is assembled from 18-month air-dried wood before being toasted (not charred). Several different levels of toast were carefully evaluated for the second barrel before the Michter\u2019s production team led by Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson decided on the final bespoke cask that would best display th e elegant nuances of this special whiskey.<\/p>\n

About American Whiskey<\/h2>\n

There are two main representatives of the American whiskey family, bourbon, and rye, but some other spirits don’t fall into those two strictly regulated categories.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There’s equally strictly regulated American single malt, made from 100% malted barley, Tennessee whiskey, essentially bourbon filtered through maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And then there’s moonshine, a high proof (150- 170 proof) distilled spirit mainly made out of corn which gained popularity during the prohibition.<\/p>\n
