Michter's describes its 25-year whiskeys as available only as stocks permit, and releases have come years apart, which is why collectors watch for every one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichter's is a Kentucky whiskey producer whose limited releases have made it one of the most admired names in American whiskey. The 25 Year Bourbon has appeared only sporadically: after a long absence following its 2008 release, it returned in 2017, again in 2020 and again in 2023. Each release is chosen by the Michter's leadership team, with Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson selecting the barrels for the 2020 edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bourbon is distilled from a select mash bill and matured for over 25 years in fire-charred new American white oak barrels in Michter's Kentucky warehouses. Very few bourbon barrels can carry that much time without the oak overwhelming the spirit, and the result is dense and layered. Recent releases are bottled at 116.2 proof (58.1% ABV), giving the whiskey plenty of weight on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molasses and dried fruit with holiday spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complex with great mouthfeel; chocolate, smoke-roasted nuts, dried fruit, melted butter and vanilla.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with molasses, oak and lingering spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michter's Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Single Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116.2 proof (58.1% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fire-charred new American white oak barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaste it neat first, then add a few drops of water to open the chocolate and roasted-nut notes at this strength. A rich bourbon like this stands up to a full-bodied maduro cigar and pairs well with dark chocolate or pecan desserts.
