Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon 2024 Announced – Press Release

Press Release

On The Tenth Anniversary of Its Debut, Michter’s is Releasing Its US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon Once Again

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Louisville-based Michter’s will begin shipping its 2024 bottling of its US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon in September. With its first release in 2014, Michter’s created the toasted barrel finish category.

Ten Years Ago

“Ten years ago, after a good deal of research and experimentation, we released the first toasted barrel whiskey: Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon,” observed Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. “We had no idea it would be such a groundbreaking product.”

It Begins With Michter’s US*1 Bourbon

To make this special Toasted release, Michter’s starts with fully matured barrels of its US*1 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon and transfers the whiskey into a second barrel made of 18-month air dried wood for additional aging. The second barrel has been toasted to precise specifications, but not charred.

Andrea Wilson – Michter’s Master of Maturation

As Michter’s Master of Maturation, Andrea Wilson is responsible for Michter’s aging and finishing program. “It’s a testament to our team that so many other great distillers have followed us in releasing toasted barrel finish whiskeys. There are many different toast profiles in which the barrel is heated to create beautiful flavor notes. This year’s Michter’s US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon reminds me of a fall evening where we are roasting campfire treats with graham crackers, marshmallows, caramel and butterscotch,” said Wilson.

Details

The U.S. suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle of this 91.4 proof whiskey is $110.

Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee
