The story behind it

The maker

Michter's traces its rich ancestry back to America's first whiskey company, originally established by John Shenk in Pennsylvania in 1753. After closing during the industry's downturn in 1989, the brand was resurrected in Kentucky by Joseph J. Magliocco and Richard Newman with a commitment to producing exceptional, cost-no-object whiskey.

How it is made

Michter's Sour Mash is produced at the historic Fort Nelson Distillery and Shively Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. The name honors the legendary sour mash whiskey style that was Michter's single most popular product during the 1970s and 1980s.
