About the distillery

Michter's Distillery is today one of the jewels of American whiskey, located in Louisville in the heart of Kentucky. Its origins date back to the late 1700s, when farmer John Shenk founded one of the first distilleries in America. The whiskey produced became so popular that it was supplied to George Washington's troops during the Revolutionary War. Despite the turbulence of Prohibition and a closure in the 20th century, Michter's was reborn in the 1990s thanks to two enthusiasts who relaunched the brand with the ambition of achieving excellence. Today, the distillery combines artisanal methods , small batches , and rigorous cask selection to offer a range of rare finesse. Each batch is crafted according to very strict standards, including gentle filtration, slow reduction, and the use of custom-toasted casks. Michter's portfolio includes prestigious references such as US*1 Bourbon , Sour Mash , Single Barrel Rye and the very rare Toasted Barrel . Recognized worldwide, Michter's is today acclaimed by connoisseurs and mixologists for the consistent quality of its whiskeys. Choosing Michter's means treating yourself to an American whiskey of character, matured with patience and precision, in accordance with the purest traditions of Kentucky.
