What were you doing 20 years ago? Michter’s latest release of its 20-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon was just going into the barrel. Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson recently approved the release of the two-decade-old bourbon.
“It’s always a special event for us at Michter’s when we bottle and release some whiskey that is over two decades old,” said Michter’s President Joseph Magliocco. “Unlike Scotch and some other aged spirits, bourbon has to mature in a new barrel. Reaching ages beyond 15 years without the whiskey getting too woody is an achievement that our team strives for. This is an exceptional release, and we only wish we had more to offer.”

“The Michter’s 20 Year is a remarkable drinking experience. It’s luxurious and expansive — a broad palate of flavor that culminates in a viscous, dark, and richly-complex finish. Taking over two decades in the making, this bourbon doesn’t just taste good - it evokes a piece of that timeless history, of life’s warm and glowing moments. It’s truly a once in a lifetime bourbon!”
