Michter's 20 Year Old Limited Release 2022 Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 700mL

Michter’s 20 Year Old Limited Release 2022 Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is one of the most sought-after ultra-aged bourbons ever released. Bottled in extremely limited quantities, this remarkable expression represents the pinnacle of Michter’s dedication to long-term maturation and uncompromising barrel selection. Matured for over two decades in fire-charred new American oak barrels, only a select number of casks were deemed worthy for release by Master Distiller Dan McKee, resulting in a bourbon of extraordinary depth, balance and refinement.

Originally revived in the 1990s, Michter’s has become one of the most highly respected names in American whiskey through its philosophy of releasing whiskey based on flavour maturity rather than strict production schedules. The 20 Year Old release has achieved near “unicorn” status among collectors due to its rarity and the exceptional quality required for bourbon to age gracefully over such an extended period.

Tasting Notes:
Rich and intensely layered, this bourbon opens with deep caramel, dark toffee and roasted oak balanced by notes of vanilla bean, maple syrup and burnt sugar. The palate reveals waves of dark chocolate, honey, leather, tobacco leaf and candied orange with remarkable concentration and texture. Despite its age, the oak remains elegant and refined, leading into a long, warming finish filled with spice, old leather, toasted nuts and lingering sweetness that showcases the remarkable complexity of mature Kentucky bourbon.
