Michter's Whiskey

A name from 1700s Pennsylvania rose from the ashes of bankruptcy and found a new home in Kentucky's bourbon country. Michter's story is one of an old craft nearly lost, then rescued by owners obsessed with quality over quantity. Today the name is once again synonymous with small batches, patient aging, and whiskey that rarely reaches the shelf before it's ready.

    Michters US 1 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 45.7%

    Michter’s US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is made from a carefully selected mashbill that features the highest quality American corn. It is then matured to the peak of perfection. Truly “small batch” each batch of Michter's US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is batched in a holding tank sized to fit a maximum of twenty full barrels, leaving no margin for “blending out” imperfection and thus necessitating excellence from every barrel. Reflecting the spirit of the Bluegrass State, Michter’s US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is nuanced, mellow and earthy.

    Michters US 1 Small Batch Original Sour Mash Whiskey 70 cl 43%

    During the 1970s and 1980s, Michter’s Original Sour Mash Whiskey was the distillery’s single most popular product. While the “Sour Mash” moniker originated from the whiskey production process of the same name – whereby some previously fermented mash is used as the starter for the new mash to be fermented, much like making sourdough bread – Michter’s Original Sour Mash earned distinction for its unique taste. With its unique grain selection, it cannot be categorized as a rye or a bourbon. After disappearing from the market in 1989, Michter’s Original Sour Mash Whiskey made a triumphant return in 2012 with its introduction into the US1 line. Staying true to the profile and palate of its predecessor, Michter’s US1 Sour Mash has quickly become a favorite of whiskey enthusiasts.

    Michters US 1 Small Batch Unblended American Whiskey 70 cl 41.7%

    Unlike Bourbon or Rye, which, by definition, must be aged in new oak barrels, their US1 Unblended American Whiskey is aged in a way that utilizes whiskey-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavor profile. In late 2013, then Master Distiller Willie Pratt agreed to re-release Michter's US1 Unblended American Whiskey after a nearly three-year absence from the market, deeming it “just right” and “the best it’s ever been.” Crucially, Michter's US1 Unblended American Whiskey never contains grain neutral spirits – hence its “unblended” distinction.

About Michter's Whiskey

Michter's is the American whiskey house that revived a name rooted in 1700s Pennsylvania and gave it new life in Kentucky. The house philosophy is simple but demanding: no whiskey leaves the warehouse until the master distillers judge it ready, no matter how long that takes. For beginners, that means a rich, caramel-forward whiskey with broad appeal, while collectors chase the house's limited US*1 releases, which often sell out within hours and trade on for well above retail.

History & background

The original Michter's name dates back to 1700s Pennsylvania, ranking among the oldest whiskey names in the US. The historic distillery went bankrupt in the 1980s and lay dormant for years until businessmen Joseph J. Magliocco and Richard Newman bought the rights to the name in the 1990s and rebuilt it from scratch in Kentucky. They chose a no-compromise philosophy: small batches, proprietary barrel profiles, and no fixed age statement, because the whiskey is only bottled once it's ready. The strategy has made Michter's one of the most respected and sought-after names in modern American whiskey.

Production & style

The whiskey is distilled in small batches and aged in new, charred oak casks with a particular focus on temperature control during maturation.

Signature style

Full-Bodied, Rich, Caramel
The flavor offers a full-bodied, rich character with clear notes of caramel and spice.
