MICHTER'S
If you drink the whiskey that warmed General Washington’s troops at Valley Forge,
does that make you a patriot? Not necessarily, but it indicates you appreciate that
Michter’s sets the standard for highest quality, limited production whiskeys.
America’s first whiskey distilling company, Michter’s rich history dates back to 1753
when a farmer in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania distilled his first batch of whiskey
from hardy rye. At one point a Master Distiller left his family’s well-known distillery
to join Michter’s so he could be at a smaller, less cost-conscious company where
he could make the finest whiskey, cost be damned.
We continue this grand distilling tradition in Kentucky by never releasing our
whiskeys until both our Master Distiller and our panel of whiskey tasters deem
them ready. In fact, our whiskey is often much older than the age statement on the
label. We are very grateful to our loyal customers who have lived with us though
our time-to-time whiskey shortages.
