URGENT UPDATE: Michter’s Distillery has just announced the much-anticipated release of its 2026 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon, set to ship from their Louisville facility this March. This marks the first release since last year, and whiskey enthusiasts are eagerly preparing to get their hands on this limited edition.
Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee confirmed the release, emphasizing the rigorous selection process. “Because barrels even next to each other in the rickhouse don’t necessarily all age the same, we overage our whiskey and wait beyond the ten-year mark,” said McKee, highlighting the meticulous care that goes into crafting this premium bourbon.
At 94.4 Proof (47.2% ABV), the 2026 release promises to be a smooth and complex pour. Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson described it as “a captivating experience that evokes warm, nostalgic appreciation for great whiskey.” This bourbon not only delivers rich flavors but also reinforces the notion that high proof isn’t necessary for a rewarding drinking experience.
The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle is set at $195 in the U.S., making it a coveted addition for collectors and connoisseurs alike. “Ten Year Bourbon is very special for us because, along with 10 Year Rye, it was one of the first types that Kentucky Michter’s ever released,” stated Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco.
Michter’s has recently gained international acclaim, being named The World’s Most Admired Whiskey for three consecutive years by an academy of voters convened by UK-based Drinks International. This recognition underscores the distillery’s commitment to producing exceptional American whiskey of uncompromising quality.
Whiskey lovers should mark their calendars! The 2026 release is expected to sell out quickly, given its limited production and the brand’s esteemed reputation. As Michter’s prepares to ship this highly anticipated bourbon, the buzz is palpable, and interest is skyrocketing.
