On Tuesday, Michter’s announced the upcoming release of the 2025 US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Sour Mash Whiskey. The limited-edition whiskey is set to launch in September and will serve as the newest addition to the brand’s acclaimed Toasted Barrel Finish Series.
The Louisville-Ky.-based distillery put the toasted uncharred barrel finish category on the map when it first launched the series in 2014 with its US*1 Toasted Barrel Straight Bourbon and Rye. Michter’s has introduced new editions of each expression sporadically in the decade since, but last year, Michter’s took it up a notch. For the 10-year anniversary of the collection, it unveiled the 2024 edition of the US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon, which took the brand’s fully-matured US*1 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon and transferred it to a second toasted barrel made of 18-month, air-dried wood for a second round of aging.
