URGENT UPDATE: Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon will make its highly anticipated return to shelves this March, marking the first release since last year. This limited edition bourbon, produced in Louisville, Kentucky, is set to retail at $195 for a 750ml bottle and promises an exceptional tasting experience.
Officials at Michter’s confirm that this release has received the green light from Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. McKee emphasizes the meticulous aging process, stating, “Because barrels even next to each other in the rickhouse don’t necessarily all age the same, we overage our whiskey and wait beyond the ten-year mark.” This dedication ensures that only the finest barrels are selected for the Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon.
Wilson describes the 2026 release as “a smooth, rich, complex, and captivating pour,” highlighting its ability to evoke a sense of warm appreciation. With a proof of 94.4 (47.2% ABV), the bourbon offers a rich array of flavors, proving that a high proof isn’t necessary for a memorable drinking experience.
Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco reflects on the significance of this release: “Ten Year Bourbon is very special for us because, along with 10 Year Rye, it was one of the two first types that Kentucky Michter’s ever released.” The distillery strives to create a full-flavored, rich whiskey that delivers a unique taste experience with each offering.
This release comes on the heels of Michter’s distinguished recognition as The World’s Most Admired Whiskey for three consecutive years, awarded by Drinks International. The distillery’s commitment to quality and tradition underscores its legacy of producing exceptional American whiskeys.
As fans eagerly await the March release, Michter’s continues to captivate whiskey enthusiasts and collectors alike. For more details about Michter’s offerings, visit their official site at michters.com and follow them on social media platforms.
