Sour Mash Bourbon
Sour mash is a process unique to bourbon whiskey production. It involves using a portion of the previous batch’s fermented mash as the ‘starter’ for the next batch. This creates a consistent flavor profile from one batch to the next. Many bourbons are made using the sour mash process, but not all are labeled as such.
