Editor’s Note: We received a review sample of this whiskey from the brand. However, in accordance with our editorial policies, this has not influenced the outcome of our review in any way.
Michter’s Distillery is one of the more popular Kentucky distilleries today. This brand’s legacy started in 1753 in Pennsylvania and, through many twists and turns, ultimately ended up in Kentucky under the still-ongoing leadership of Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco.
As Micther’s has continued to grow and evolve as one of Kentucky’s most prominent whiskey makers, so has its global recognition. In late October 2023, the UK-based publication Drinks International announced the results of a poll by an Academy of independent global whisky experts, journalists, bartenders, and drink buyers from more than 20 countries. For the first time, an American whiskey (Michter’s) was voted the World’s Most Admired Whiskey.
What’s in the bottle
The whiskey being reviewed here, Michter’s 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2024, was aged for a decade in Kentucky in fine-charred, new American oak barrels before being deemed ready for bottling by Dan McKee, Master Distiller, and Andrea Wilson, Master of Maturation.
“This a wonderful single barrel whiskey,” noted McKee when it was released. “It’s brimming with all the characteristics that I look for in a special bourbon.”
“We know that Michter’s fans everywhere look forward to our 10 Year Bourbon,” added Wilson. “We are excited to share the 2024 release, which again is overaged to a beautiful maturity with an excellent nose, creamy texture and an array of characteristics on the palate, that ascend through to the finish, making every drop an enjoyable moment.”
This bourbon is bottled at 94.4 proof and priced at $185 per 750 ml bottle.
