For the first time since 2022, Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson have approved the release of Michter’s 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
On the heels of being named 2024’s World’s Most Admired Whiskies by Drinks International, Michter’s celebrates the release of its highly anticipated 2024 Michter’s 20 Year Bourbon. Master Distiller Dan McKee expressed his gratitude, highlighting the release as a perfect way to mark the honor. Michter’s dedication to quality is evident in the careful monitoring of its barrels, with a special focus on its older stocks, creating an exceptional whiskey that offers a luxurious drinking experience.
It’s always a special event for us at Michter’s when we bottle and release some whiskey that is over two decades old. 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.
– Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco
The 2024 release of Michter’s 20 Year Bourbon promises to be a rich, complex whiskey with a proof of 114.2 (57.1% ABV) and a suggested retail price of $1,200 per 750ml bottle.
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!
