Kentucky-based distiller Michter’s has launched two new single-barrel bourbons, matured for ten and 20 years respectively.
The two whiskies have been added to the company’s distributor network for sale this December, and will mark the first release of the 2015 bottling of the two coveted expressions, Michter’s said. The suggested US retail price for a 750ml bottle of Michter’s 10 Year bourbon is $120, while a 750ml bottle of the 20 Year bourbon will sell for $600.
The two new releases have been launched after securing the approval of Michter’s master distiller, Willie Pratt.
Pratt, who is known as Dr No by Michter’s sales team due to his frequent refusal to release whiskies before they have sufficiently matured, said: “These two bourbons were set for release at the beginning of this year, but I held them back for a bit more aging. I wanted them to be just right.”
