Michter's 20 Year 2022 Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is an exceptionally rare 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from Michter’s, released in extremely limited quantities in late 2022. Bottled at 114.2 proof (57.1% ABV), this prestigious expression was approved for release by Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson after an extensive evaluation of Michter’s oldest whiskey stocks. Matured for at least two decades in fire-charred new American white oak barrels, the 2022 edition demonstrates the careful barrel management required to achieve significant age without allowing oak to overwhelm the bourbon’s richness and complexity.

Michter's 2022 20 Year Bourbon delivers an intensely mature profile centered around black cherry, rich molasses, vanilla, toasted nuts, and seasoned oak. The palate develops with layers of dark caramel, dried fruit, vanilla custard, cinnamon, baking spice, roasted pecans, and charred oak. Its two decades of maturation provide tremendous depth and concentration, leading into a long, warming finish filled with dark fruit, caramelized sweetness, spice, leather, and lingering mature oak.
