Michter's 10 Year Bourbon Returns

Michter's Distillery, celebrating its legacy of creating exceptional American whiskey, is excited to announce the impending release of its renowned 10 Year Bourbon. Scheduled for shipping this March, this marks the first release since last year and is spearheaded by Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.

The nuanced maturation process of Michter's 10 Year Bourbon is what sets it apart. Master Distiller Dan McKee emphasized their unique approach to aging, stating that even barrels positioned side by side can age differently. To ensure only the finest whiskey is selected, the team intentionally allows the bourbon to mature beyond the ten-year mark before choosing the barrels that have reached their full potential. This determination exemplifies the depth of care and quality that Michter's embodies in all its products.

With a robust alcohol content of 94.4 proof (47.2% ABV), the 2026 release is more than just whiskey; it’s an experience. According to Wilson, the bourbon offers a smooth, rich, and multifaceted flavor profile that evokes warm memories of enjoying a finely crafted whiskey. She remarked, "You don’t need a high proof to deliver a rich drinking experience."

This year’s release carries a suggested retail price of $195 for a 750ml bottle in the United States, a worthy investment for whiskey lovers and collectors alike. Michter's 10 Year Bourbon holds a special place in the distillery's history and branding, alongside its 10 Year Rye—that was among the first concoctions released by Michter's in Kentucky. Joseph J. Magliocco, President of Michter's, expressed pride in the bourbon’s heritage, affirming that as they strive to produce the finest American whiskey possible, each offering focuses on delivering a wonderfully flavorful and memorable taste experience.

The recognition achieved by Michter's speaks volumes about its commitment to quality. Just last year, it became the first whiskey to win the title of “The World's Most Admired Whiskey” for three consecutive years, as voted by an international academy assembled by Drinks International. This accolade reflects not just the whisky's quality but its significance in the global spirit landscape.

Michter's products embrace tradition while embodying the rigor and craftsmanship that defines American whiskey culture. Their lineup includes a variety of bourbons, ryes, sour mash whiskeys, and American whiskeys—all of which are produced with precision and passion. For those wanting to discover more about Michter's offerings or to engage with the distillery community, further information is accessible via their website, michters.com, as well as on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and X.

As the March release date approaches, bourbon enthusiasts and whiskey aficionados eagerly anticipate securing a bottle of Michter's 10 Year Bourbon. This limited release not only celebrates a storied past but also signifies a commitment to the future of American whiskey production. Mark your calendars and prepare your tasting glasses for this exceptional offering from Michter's—where quality is both a promise and a legacy.
