Michter's 10 Year Bourbon Release Held Back Until 2023

"I'm proud to be at a company that is so laser focused on offering top quality whiskey.

"I'm proud to be at a company that is so laser focused on offering top quality whiskey. This continues the protocol set by our late Master Distiller Willie 'Dr. No' Pratt," commented Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee. Many years ago, Pratt earned this nickname from Michter's Executive Vice President Steve Ziegler for his refusal to release any whiskey until he felt it was just right.

The Louisville-based distiller plans to keep the barrels originally slated to be bottled this year for one further year of aging. Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson stated, "Bourbon enthusiasts often tell us how much they love our 10 Year Bourbon for its depth and complexity.  While we know our Michter's supporters will be disappointed, just know we are continuing to stay true to our philosophies of who we are as a company and as a brand by always delivering extraordinary whiskey to those who are willing to wait."

Michter's 10 Year Bourbon has a suggested retail price of $160 in the United States.

Michter's has a rich and long legacy of offering traditional American whiskeys of uncompromising quality. With each of its limited production offerings aged to its peak maturity, Michter's highly acclaimed portfolio includes bourbon, rye, sour mash whiskey, and American whiskey. Currently all types of Michter's are being allocated because demand exceeds supply. In October 2021, Michter's was named the Most Admired American Whiskey in a survey conducted in 25 countries. In January 2022, Michter's was named the #1 Top Trending American Whiskey brand by Drinks International in their Annual Brands Report.

In addition to Michter's Fort Nelson Distillery and Michter's Shively Distillery, both located in Louisville, the company has its 205-acre farm and operations in Springfield, Kentucky. For more information, please visit www.michters.com, and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
