The story behind it

The maker

Michter's was originally founded by John Shenk in Pennsylvania before eventually relocating to the heart of Kentucky's whiskey country. The brand was revived with a commitment to producing exceptional spirits without regard to cost, including heating their warehouses during winter to enhance barrel interaction.

How it is made

Michter's legacy trace back to America's first whiskey company founded in 1753. This straight rye is produced at the Michter's Fort Nelson and Shively distilleries in Kentucky, where they utilize a custom-designed copper pot still and a meticulous wood-aging program.
