URGENT UPDATE: Michter’s Distillery is set to release its highly anticipated 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon this March, marking the first shipment since last year. This exclusive 2026 release has received the green light from Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.
With just weeks to go, whiskey enthusiasts are gearing up for a taste sensation as McKee confirms, “We overage our whiskey and wait beyond the ten-year mark to select fully matured barrels for Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon.” This meticulous process ensures that only the finest barrels make the cut, elevating the drinking experience to new heights.
The 2026 release boasts a robust 94.4 Proof (47.2% ABV) and carries a suggested retail price of $195 for a 750ml bottle in the U.S. Wilson emphasizes that this bourbon remains “a smooth, rich, complex, and captivating pour,” promising a flavor profile that is as rich as it is memorable.
Joseph J. Magliocco, President of Michter’s, remarks on the significance of this release: “Ten Year Bourbon is very special for us because it was one of the first types that Kentucky Michter’s ever released.” This bourbon represents the culmination of Michter’s ongoing commitment to producing the greatest American whiskey, with each bottle crafted for a full-flavored, rich experience.
Notably, Michter’s has gained international acclaim, becoming the first whiskey to be named The World’s Most Admired Whiskey for three consecutive years by UK’s Drinks International, further solidifying its legacy in the whiskey world.
This latest development is a must-watch for bourbon lovers and collectors alike. As the anticipation builds, consumers are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates on availability and distribution, ensuring they don’t miss out on this premier offering.
