Michters 20 Year Old Bourbon 2021 Release

The Michter’s 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2021 edition, according to those behind it, is being bottled at 114.2 proof (57.1% ABV). It is one of the oldest expressions in the Michter’s line up, being an example of a bottling the distillery only occasionally puts out to market when they feel select extra aged barrels are ready to be dumped.

“I really enjoy this release because the barrels that our Master Distiller Dan McKee and our Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson selected for it are so layered and rich,” stated Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. “This whiskey really showcases how thoughtful care and attention throughout the aging life can lead to an absolutely beautiful expression,” said Wilson. “Sipping it mirrors the experience of savoring a fine, decadent dessert.”

“Gorgeous dried apricot, peach cobbler, vanilla custard, plus a hint of cherry-flavored pipe tobacco. Rich, layered, and rounded caramel, with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. Then earth, and lots of it, over a slightly chewy mouthfeel of caramel chew and Red Hots cinnamon candy. Medium finish counters wonderful bouquet and palate notes, but still lovely for sipping.”
