URGENT UPDATE: Michter’s Distillery is gearing up to release its highly anticipated 2026 10-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon this March, marking the first shipment since last year’s celebrated release. This exclusive bourbon has been meticulously crafted and approved by Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.
McKee emphasized the exceptional quality of the 10-Year Bourbon, stating, “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 before selecting fully matured barrels.” This approach ensures that only the finest bourbons make it to consumers.
The 2026 release, boasting a robust 94.4 Proof (47.2% ABV), promises to deliver a rich and captivating tasting experience. According to Wilson, “This release is again a smooth, rich, complex, and captivating pour that evokes feelings of warm, reminiscent appreciation of a great whiskey.” The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle is set at $195 in the U.S.
Joseph J. Magliocco, President of Michter’s, highlighted the significance of this bourbon, “Ten Year Bourbon is very special for us because it was one of the two first types that Kentucky Michter’s ever released. We strive to produce the greatest American whiskey, ensuring each offering is a full-flavored, rich whiskey that leaves a memorable taste experience.”
Michter’s has garnered international acclaim, recently becoming the first whiskey to be named The World’s Most Admired Whiskey for three consecutive years by an academy of voters convened by UK-based Drinks International.
This release not only showcases Michter’s commitment to quality but also reinforces its legacy in the world of traditional American whiskeys. With its limited production offerings, Michter’s portfolio continues to captivate bourbon enthusiasts globally.
As the release date approaches, whiskey lovers are urged to mark their calendars for March 2026 and prepare for the chance to enjoy this exquisite bourbon. For more information, visit michters.com and follow Michter’s on social media platforms.
