URGENT UPDATE: Michter’s Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky has just announced the eagerly awaited release of its 2026 Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon, set to ship this March. This marks the first release since last year, and whiskey enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement as they prepare for this exceptional offering.
Approved by Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson, the 2026 release promises to uphold Michter’s renowned quality. McKee emphasized, “Because barrels even next to each other in the rickhouse don’t necessarily all age the same, 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 whiskey reaches consumers.
At 94.4 Proof (47.2% ABV), the 2026 release is described by Wilson as a “smooth, rich, complex, and captivating pour” that evokes feelings of nostalgic appreciation. She added, “With its rich array of flavors, it continues to remind that you don’t have to have a high proof to get a rich, flavorful drinking experience.”
The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle in the U.S. will be set at $195. Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco noted the significance of this release, stating, “Ten Year Bourbon is very special for us because it was one of the two first types that Kentucky Michter’s ever released.”
This release comes on the heels of Michter’s remarkable achievement in October 2025, when it became the first whiskey to be named “The World’s Most Admired Whiskey” for three consecutive years by an international academy of voters convened by UK-based Drinks International. Such accolades highlight Michter’s commitment to producing the greatest American whiskey.
With each limited production offering aged to its peak maturity, Michter’s portfolio includes bourbon, rye, sour mash whiskey, and American whiskey. Whiskey lovers should mark their calendars for this March release, as stocks are expected to be limited.
