Michter’s Celebration Sour Mash 2022 Edition Set To Release

Starting this month, Michter’s Distillery will start to ship its 2022 Celebration Sour Mash across the country.

A recent statement from the whiskey maker noted that originally, Michter’s intended to ship this very high end release after its bottling in late 2022. The release, however, was delayed by supply chain issues involving the arrival of packaging.

This will be the fourth Michter’s Celebration release, and the first one since 2019.

Michter’s Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey debuted in 2013, offering a rare blend for a suggested retail price of several thousand dollars.

“It’s been gratifying to see how whiskeys made in the United States have garnered increased respect and recognition both at home and abroad over the past decade,” said Joseph J. Magliocco, Michter’s president.

He explained that only 328 bottles of the 2022 Edition of Michter’s Celebration will be released worldwide, and the whiskey clocks in at 112.8 proof, or 56.4% ABV. Each bottle will retail for $6,000.

Every bottle of the 2022 Edition comes in a gift box with a drawer containing a letter signed by Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee.

“This is the second time that I have had the honor of working with our team to produce a Michter’s Celebration release,” McKee said, in the prepared statement. “This edition contains whiskeys personally selected by me from seven extraordinary barrels: three of them Kentucky straight bourbon and four of them Kentucky straight rye.”

The seven different whiskeys in this blend range in age from 12 to more than 30 years old.
