Description

Michter’s Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey 2022 Edition

Distillery Notes:

“In pursuit of its goal of offering the greatest American whiskey, Michter’s first released its Celebration Sour Mash in 2013. This watershed moment in United States whiskey history marked the first time that an American company was offering a rare blend intended to rival the finest spirits made anywhere else in the world. For this release, Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee consulted with Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. He selected whiskey from seven extraordinary barrels, three Kentucky Straight Bourbon and four Kentucky Straight Rye, with the youngest being over 12 years old and the oldest being over 30 years old. The fourth ever release of Michter’s Celebration Sour Mash, the 2022 Edition, is McKee’s second.”

Tasting Notes: A remarkable combination of elegance and depth of flavor. One sip of this decadent whiskey begins a cascade of flavors highlighted by dark rich caramel, orange citrus, vanilla bean, honey and milk chocolate as well as notes of molasses and crème brulee.

2022 Release: 1 of only 328 Bottles

Chatham Imports, the new owners of the Michter’s name started a new company called Michter’s Distillery LLC, and operated as an NDP for a number of years, meaning they sourced their whiskeys from other distilleries and bottled it under their own name. Many of these releases have been incredibly sought after, with some early releases of their Michters 10 year old single barrel bourbons rumored to have been sourced from the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery.
