Michter’s 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon

While we regularly sample all our Michter’s 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon 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.

​We also enjoy a deep appreciation and respect toward each other as fellow craft distillers. Who share similar goals in sharing knowledge with one another so that others. May experience better life experiences through their own processes.

We believe it’s important for us to have collaboration from multiple sources. People working on different projects or individuals offering ideas – just like this project does. However because I don’t want my work to be directly influenced by any individual;

only having worked side-by/side with him most days ever since 2011 until. Recently he has been able get everything under control before moving forward…not being too sure what could go wrong!

Earlier in 2019, Pamela Heilmann retired from her position as Master Distiller of Michter’s. Previously the distillery manager at Beam and Master Distiller at Michter’s since 2016. She no doubt had a heavy hand in building the reputation and quality that Michter’s has brought to the table. She passed along the whiskey thief to Dan McKee, who (along with Andrea Wilson, their Master of Maturation) took the leading role on this year’s 20 year bourbon.

At Michter’s, they claim to pay special attention to barrels 17 years old or older. This allows them to pick out peak moments in flavor. And balance in order to use them in older expressions such as this. By keeping an eye on those old barrels. They can moderate the amount of oak and accomplish softer and. More complex whiskeys than your typical 15-20 year bourbons.
