Final Thoughts
A revival of one of Michter’s historical recipes, the Sour Mash bridges bourbon and rye profiles. The nose offers caramel, baked apples, maple, and nutmeg. On the palate, flavors of honey, cinnamon, toasted nuts, and dried fruit unfold with a creamy texture. The finish is medium-long with oak spice, toffee, and gentle smoke. Its unique balance of sweet and spicy makes it stand out in the lineup. Versatile for sipping neat or over ice, it pairs excellently with roasted pork, pecan pie, or smoked gouda. A fan-favorite for those seeking something distinctively different.
