Michters 20 Year Old Bourbon 2022 Release
Each barrel is personally selected by Michter's Master Distiller for its ability to mature for two full decades without becoming dominated by oak—a significant challenge in Kentucky's climate and a rarity in any rickhouse. This release represents a small number of barrels that achieved the precise balance of age and complexity the brand requires.
The profile is known for its intensity and depth, offering rich notes of black cherry, molasses, and worn leather, alongside the smokey vanilla and caramel that define the Michter's character. It is a complex, mature bourbon intended for the serious collector.

“I really enjoy this release because the barrels that our Master Distiller Dan McKee and our Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson selected for it are so layered and rich,” stated Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. “This whiskey really showcases how thoughtful care and attention throughout the aging life can lead to an absolutely beautiful expression,” said Wilson. “Sipping it mirrors the experience of savoring a fine, decadent dessert.”
"Gorgeous dried apricot, peach cobbler, vanilla custard, plus a hint of cherry-flavored pipe tobacco. Rich, layered, and rounded caramel, with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. Then earth, and lots of it, over a slightly chewy mouthfeel of caramel chew and Red Hots cinnamon candy. Medium finish counters wonderful bouquet and palate notes, but still lovely for sipping."
