Michter's Celebration Batch 1 Sour Mash Whiskey

Michter's Celebration Batch 1 Sour Mash Whiskey is an ultra-premium and rare release from the esteemed Michter's Distillery.

The selection includes whiskeys aged over 30 years, over 20 years, and other exceptional barrels, resulting in a complex and luxurious flavor profile.
