"Michter's 20 Year Straight Kentucky Bourbon is a unique bourbon, bottled at an elevated 114.2 proof (57.1% ABV) and carrying a deep complexity thanks to its long aging. "Details matter when it comes to aging bourbon gracefully," says Andrea Wilson, Michter's master of maturation, in a press release. "Michter's 20 Year Bourbon is an exemplary representation of how oak can be used to deepen vanilla, toffee, chocolate, spice, fruit, and confectionery notes that enhance complexity in bourbon.""
"Taking home the title of "World's Most Admired Whiskey" just once is an incredible accomplishment for a distillery; doing it three times is something special. In August 2025, Drinks International awarded Michter's that honor for the third year in a row. The award is decided by a panel of whiskey experts based on quality and consistency - of course - but also the whiskey's price-to-quality ratio and the strength of the brand."
Michter's earned Drinks International's "World's Most Admired Whiskey" title for the third consecutive year in August 2025, with awards judged on quality, consistency, price-to-quality ratio, and brand strength. Michter's released a 20 Year Straight Kentucky Bourbon bottled at 114.2 proof (57.1% ABV) that delivers deep complexity from long aging. Andrea Wilson, Michter's master of maturation, states that oak deepens vanilla, toffee, chocolate, spice, fruit, and confectionery notes to enhance complexity. Joseph J. Magliocco, Michter's President, says aging whiskey for two decades in first-use barrels requires an artful scientific balance and conscientious production to achieve exceptional results.
