Michter's Single Barrel 10 Year Old Bourbon 2019

Single barrel. 10 years of patient aging. Named "Best American Whiskey" by Food & Wine magazine. The 2019 vintage of Michter's most celebrated expression.

Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel is released only when Master Distiller and Master of Maturation determine that available barrels have peaked. No commercial calendar drives the release — only barrel quality. The 2019 vintage is a specific cohort of barrels from that year's approval, each bottled individually as single barrels. It is more recent than the 2015–2017 vintages but equally constrained in supply.

At 10 years, Michter's bourbon has developed the richness and depth that earned it consistent critical acclaim. Patient aging is the entire philosophy — and it shows.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why isn't Michter's 10 Year released every year? Michter's only releases the 10 Year when their Master Distiller and Master of Maturation determine available barrels are ready. Some years produce no release.
• What does single barrel mean? Each bottle comes from one specific barrel. Slight variation between different barrel bottlings is normal.
• How does the 2019 compare to earlier vintages? Each vintage reflects barrels from a specific distillation cohort. The 2019 is more recent and somewhat easier to source than the 2015–2017 vintages, but equally limited in total production.
• Is Michter's made at a historic distillery? Michter's traces its heritage to a Pennsylvania distillery dating to 1753, though the modern operation is based in Louisville, Kentucky. The brand's commitment to quality over quantity is the consistent thread across its history.
