Set to release in December for $1,500, this is the first release of Michter’s 25 Year Old Bourbon since 2020.
How do you celebrate being named The World’s Most Admired Whiskey? You release Michter’s 25 year old! That is right on October 31, 2023, UK-based Drinks International published its annual top 50 list of The World’s Most Admired Whiskies based on voting by an Academy of independent whiskey experts (writers, educators, bar owners, and other specialists with no affiliation to any brand) from more than 20 countries. For the first time an American whiskey, Michter’s, topped the charts as The World’s Most Admired Whiskey. Michter’s is celebrating this extraordinary recognition with the December release of one of its rarest offerings: Michter’s 25 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
This release commemorates a truly special moment for us. The last time we released a 25 Year Bourbon was in 2020.
Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco
The 25 Year Michter’s Bourbon barrels are personally selected by Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee and Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.
This release of the 25 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon is an outstanding flavor experience without the overly oaked, dusty old whiskey character. It is a wonderful journey with its transition through sweet and savory depth, world spices, dark chocolates, fruit characters and nut oils almost as if you are eating through a box of fine chocolates. It is an exceptional whiskey for an exceptional achievement in the whiskey world.
Andrea Wilson, Master of Maturation
The suggested retail price of a 750ml bottle of Michter’s 25 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon in the United States is $1,500.
I am proud to work with a talented team of individuals who strive to create great whiskey. From Michter’s US*1 Bourbon to our 25 Year Bourbon, our team takes tremendous pride in the lineup of whiskeys we are offering. This release is a truly special one.
Dan McKee, Master Distiller
