The 2018 Michter's 20 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 114.2 proof (57.1% ABV) and is distilled and bottled in Kentucky by Michter's. Matured for at least two decades in new, fire-charred American white oak, the 2018 edition returned to the market in November 2018 — the first Michter's 20 Year Bourbon since November 2016 — during Pamela Heilmann's tenure as Master Distiller, with Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.
Michter's pays extra-special attention to its barrels once they pass 17 years, a window the distillery calls the "Fork in the Road Point" — 17 to 20 years, when a select few barrels reach an extraordinary level of quality while most decline. It is these exceptional barrels that go into the 20 Year, the pinnacle of Michter's age-stated lineup. Heilmann had become the first woman since Prohibition to serve as Master Distiller at a Kentucky Distillers' Association member distillery when she was promoted in 2016. Michter's 20 Year continues the legacy of a company that traces its roots to 1753 and the original Shenk's distillery. Bourbon matured two full decades in Kentucky's climate is exceptionally rare — only a select few barrels age with the elegance required to reach 20 years, while most are lost to evaporation or grow too heavily oaked long before then.
Released only when the barrels are judged ready, the 20 Year is among the rarest and most coveted bottlings Michter's produces. As a single-barrel, limited release, each bottle reflects the character of one exceptional cask, and surviving bottles are fiercely pursued by collectors. The 2018 stands as a benchmark in extra-aged American bourbon and a centerpiece of any serious Michter's collection. Michter's stands among the most admired names in American whiskey, and the 20 Year crowns its portfolio. As the bottling that brought the 20 Year back after 2016, the 2018 is a key vintage for collectors building the modern vertical.
