This 20 Year old Bourbon is especially rare, bottled at 57.1%, we only received 2 bottles in the initial shipment. We're hoping to get more soon. From the Distillery: "While we regularly sample all our Michter’s barrels to see how our whiskey is aging, we pay even extra special attention to our barrels once they are over 17 years old. At Michter’s we consider 17 to 20 years the “Fork In The Road Point” when certain barrels of whiskey can achieve an extraordinary level of quality. It is these particular barrels that our Master Distiller Willie Pratt personally selects for our very limited bottling of Michter’s 20 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon." Distiller's Tasting Note: "Intense notes of black cherry, rich molasses, honeysuckle, roasted pecans, toasted charred oak."
While the Michter’s name has a long and storied history, the Michter’s Distillery of Louisville, KY has only been in operation since 2015. Any whiskey bottled that is older than that was sourced from other distilleries, typically within Kentucky. Luckily, the quality of anything bottled with the Michter’s label on it is typically high, regardless of their original provenance.
Other than their single barrel products, Michter’s typically bottles their whiskey from selected small batches of 20 barrels or less.
