The Michters team spares no expense in its efforts to produce the greatest American whiskey possible. Tremendous attention is given to every step in the production process, including details like yeast selection; fermentation temperatures; distillation; wood selection and drying of staves; toasting and/or charring barrels; barreling proof; temperature and air flow conditions in the barrel rickhouse; identifying the peak maturation for bottling; and filtration protocol! Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Michters celebrates an extraordinarily rich heritage that traces back to 1753.
