2019 Michter's 10 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

The 2019 Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 94.4 proof (47.2% ABV) by Michter's in Louisville, Kentucky. A single-barrel, limited-quantity release matured for at least a decade in new charred American white oak, the 2019 edition went on sale in May 2019 — the final 10 Year Bourbon approved during Pamela Heilmann's tenure as Michter's Master Distiller.

Heilmann made history in 2016 as the first woman to serve as Master Distiller at a Kentucky Distillers' Association member distillery since Prohibition, bringing decades of experience from Jim Beam to Michter's. For the 2019 release she and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson tasted and selected each barrel individually before it was proofed to the brand's traditional 94.4 and chill-filtered. Weeks later, Heilmann retired from full-time work and her longtime colleague Dan McKee was elevated to Master Distiller, making this bottling a meaningful marker in the distillery's modern history.

Michter's bottles its 10 Year Bourbon only when the team deems it fully matured, never on a fixed schedule, and every single barrel must clear the brand's rigorous quality standards on its own. Named "Best American Whiskey" by Food & Wine, the 10 Year Single Barrel remains one of the most sought-after annual age-stated bourbons in American whiskey. The 2019 release delivers Michter's signature big, bold profile — dark toffee and caramel, charred oak, maple syrup, and vanilla — and stands as an increasingly hard-to-find vintage from a pivotal year. Michter's roots in American whiskey reach back to 1753, and the brand has since become one of the most admired names in the category. Tied to the handover between two of Michter's defining distillers, the 2019 vintage is an increasingly scarce piece of that modern history. Drawn from a single cask, the release carries the distinct fingerprint of one barrel, and the 10 Year Single Barrel has long ranked among the most consistently praised age-stated bourbons.
