LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
This May, Louisville-based Michter's Distillery will begin shipping the 2021
release of its 10 Year Bourbon. In July of 2020, a private barrel selection
bottling of Michter's 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon established the record
for a barrel of bourbon purchased at auction when it was sold in London for
166,000 GBP (US$209,462). "It's wonderful to see the growing recognition that
well-made bourbon, rye, and American whiskey are having around the world,"
observed Joseph J. Magliocco, Michter's President.

Michter's 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon is 94.4 proof, and it sells for a
suggested retail price of $150 in the U.S. In the words of Michter's Master
Distiller Dan McKee, "This release is a really full bodied, special bourbon."
It has been stored in Michter's heat-cycled warehouses. "When we heat cycle, it
increases the interaction between the whiskey and the wood allowing us to
extract more character from the barrel resulting in a truly rich and
exceptional whiskey that is not overly oaked," stated Michter's Master of
Maturation Andrea Wilson.
Michter's makes highly acclaimed, limited production whiskeys. Michter's is
renowned for its small batch bourbon, single barrel bourbon, single barrel rye,
and small batch American whiskey. In January 2021, Michter's was named the #1
Top Trending American Whiskey brand by Drinks International in their Annual
Brands Report for the third year in a row. Beyond its main distillery in the
Shively section of Louisville, Michter's operations extend to two other sites
in Kentucky. In Springfield, Michter's is farming estate grown grain on its
145-acre property, while in downtown Louisville, Michter's has its second
distillery in the historic Fort Nelson building. Situated in a prime location
on West Main Street opposite Louisville Slugger and on the same block as the
Frazier Museum, Michter's Fort Nelson Distillery features the legendary pot
still system from Michter's Pennsylvania Distillery. When open, it also has
educational tours with whiskey tastings as well as The Bar at Fort Nelson,
which features classic cocktails curated by spirits and cocktail historian
David Wondrich.
