1998 Makers Mark Keeneland Kentucky Old Sour Mash Straight Bourbon Whisky
1998 Maker's Mark Keeneland Kentucky Old Sour Mash Straight Bourbon Whisky
Most bourbon distillers, including Maker's Mark use a sour mash process. This refers to what the distillers call 'set back' being added to the mash. 'Set back' is the undistilled residue that remains from the previous distillation. The term 'sour mash' is a reference to this acidic, sour tasting set back.
Sour mash is the process used by whisky distilleries that relies upon an older batch of mash to begin the fermentation process of the next. This allows control of the pH and also provides valuable nutrients for the yeast. This process is somewhat analogous to the use of sourdough starter rather than fresh yeast.
