UPDATE: Michter’s Distillery has just announced the eagerly awaited release of its 10 Year Bourbon, set to hit shelves in March 2026. This release marks the first since last year and promises to deliver a rich and complex flavor profile that whiskey enthusiasts have come to expect from this esteemed brand.
Master Distiller Dan McKee confirmed that the bourbon has undergone an extensive aging process. He stated, “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.” This meticulous selection process ensures that every bottle meets Michter’s high standards.
The 2026 release will feature a robust 94.4 Proof (47.2% ABV) and will retail at $195 for a 750ml bottle in the United States. Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson expressed excitement about this year’s offering, describing it as “a smooth, rich, complex, and captivating pour that evokes feelings of warm, reminiscent appreciation of a great whiskey.”
Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco highlighted the significance of this release, stating, “Ten Year Bourbon is very special for us because, along with 10 Year Rye, it was one of the two first types that Kentucky Michter’s ever released.” With a legacy of uncompromising quality, Michter’s has earned its reputation as a leader in the American whiskey market.
This announcement comes on the heels of Michter’s being recognized as The World’s Most Admired Whiskey for three consecutive years by an international academy of voters convened by UK-based Drinks International. The 2026 Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon is expected to attract significant attention and demand, further solidifying Michter’s position in the whiskey industry.
As the release date approaches, fans and collectors are encouraged to stay tuned for more details and prepare for an unforgettable tasting experience. For more information, visit michters.com or follow Michter’s on social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and X.
