Michter's 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Release

This coveted whiskey will start to hit shelves, bars, and restaurants in April 2025, and it is suggested retail pricing is set at $195 for a 750 ml bottle.

Unlike many distilleries that rely on an age statement, Michter's adheres to a principle where whiskey is only bottled when the production team deems it fully matured. This practice was initiated by Willie Pratt, the original Master Distiller of Michter's and continues to be a hallmark of their production philosophy. As such, the anticipation surrounding the release is not just about the age but also the quality that Michter's has consistently delivered.

“It’s an exciting time during the evaluation of our barrels,” remarked Wilson while commenting on the selection process for this year's bourbon. She continued, “The 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon is again more than a decade old. It opens with an inviting nose that pulls you in much like a fantastic movie, rich in character and complexity.” Her remarks highlight the thoughtful craftsmanship that goes into achieving a balanced and flavorful whiskey.

The bourbon boasts an impressive proof of 94.4 (47.2% alc./vol.) which contributes to its distinguished character. Dan McKee emphasized that the whiskey is notable for its robust body and complexity, providing a remarkable taste experience that is not something you typically find in bourbons that are close to 100 proof. “The depth and richness deliver a delicious experience that makes it stand out,” he added.

Moreover, the 10 Year Bourbon has recently gained recognition in the industry as it was named the 'World's Most Admired Whiskey' by Drinks International, making it the only whiskey to achieve this honor two consecutive years in a row. This prestigious recognition is a testament to Michter's ongoing commitment to producing world-class spirits that resonate with whiskey enthusiasts around the globe.
