Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey landed on my desk at 43% ABV, 86 proof, carrying a $100 price tag. Here is what I found.
Palate
As a devourer of pie, the 2022 Michter’s Toasted Barrel is like drinking pie in a glass. The sugars from the toasted barrel do sweeten the bourbon, but even though the whiskey is not tannic, the oak dries my palate too much. The proof is just right giving a velvety mouthfeel. I may selfishly keep this bottle to myself.

The Bottom Line
Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash Whiskey delivers the goods. It is well-made, genuinely enjoyable, and at $100 represents solid value for what you are getting. I would happily buy this again.
