Cost Be Damned, as the Label Philosophy Goes
The Michter's name traces to Pennsylvania in 1753 — among America's earliest whiskey makers — and its modern revival in Kentucky is famous for expensive habits: entering barrels at a lower 103 proof so the whiskey matures richer, heat-cycling warehouses to drive spirit into the wood, and releasing only when the tasting panel says ready, calendar be damned. The US*1 line — Small Batch Bourbon, Single Barrel Rye, Sour Mash, and American Whiskey — delivers that standard at everyday prices, while Barrel Strength editions and the 10 Year and 25 Year bourbons sit at the top of the allocated world.
Judges have noticed: Michter's has repeatedly been named among the world's most admired whiskey brands by the trade press.

Michter's FAQs
What does US*1 mean?
It is Michter's core range designation — small-batch and single-barrel whiskeys made to the distillery's full production standards at an accessible price. Each batch is limited to a small number of barrels.
What is sour mash whiskey?
A portion of the previous fermentation is carried into the next batch, like sourdough starter — the technique Michter's original Pennsylvania distillery was known for, lending consistency and a distinctive tangy depth.
Why is Michter's 10 Year so sought after?
It is released in tiny quantities, only in years the barrels are judged ready, and it consistently lands on critics' best-bourbon lists. When it appears, it goes quickly.
