Michter’s 20 YO Bourbon Bottling Note
Michter’s 20 Year Old Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey 20 year old bourbon whiskey from the Michter’s
Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, taken from single barrels personally selected by Master Distiller Willie Pratt.
Matured for two decades in charred new American white oak barrels, this bourbon has taken on an incredible sense of character,
with intense dark fruit, toasted nut and well-rounded vanilla toffee notes.
This delightful 20 year single barrel bourbon has beautiful notes of leather and mocha.
It is very rich and polished with flavors of toffee, oak, and spiciness.
The finish is very long and complex with a oak and fruit finish.
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 Pam Heilmann personally selects for our very limited bottling of Michter’s 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
Intense notes of black cherry, rich molasses, honeysuckle, roasted pecans, toasted charred oak .

MICHTER’S DESCRIPTION
Michter’s 20 Year Old Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey America’s first whiskey distilling company,
Michter’s rich history dates back to 1753 when a farmer in Pennsylvania’s
Blue Mountain Valley distilled his first batch of whiskey from hardy rye.
At one point a Master Distiller left his family’s well-known distillery to join Michter’s so he could be at a smaller,
less cost-conscious company where he could make the finest whiskey, cost be damned.
We continue this grand distilling tradition in Kentucky by never releasing our whiskeys until both our Master
Distiller Willie Pratt and our panel of whiskey tasters deem them ready.
In fact, our whiskey is often much older than the age statement on the label.
At Michter’s we produce single barrel ryes, very small batch unblended American whiskey, very small batch bourbon, and single barrel bourbon.
