Next month, Michter’s Distillery will start shipping the 2022 Edition of its Celebration Sour Mash – the fourth ever Michter’s Celebration release and the first one since 2019. Originally planned to ship after its bottling in late 2022, the release was delayed by supply chain problems involving the arrival of packaging.
First released in 2013, Michter’s Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey marked an important moment in United States whiskey history. For the first time, an American whiskey company was offering a rare blend for a suggested retail price of several thousand dollars. 328 bottles of the 2022 Edition of Michter’s Celebration will be released worldwide, each with a price tag of $6,000 USD per bottle in the United States.
Each bottle of the 2022 Edition is housed in a special gift box that has a drawer containing a letter signed by Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee. “This is the second time that I have had the honor of working with our team to produce a Michter’s Celebration release. This edition contains whiskeys personally selected by me from seven extraordinary barrels: three of them Kentucky straight bourbon and four of them Kentucky straight rye.”
The seven whiskeys in this special blend range in age from twelve to over thirty years old. Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson says, “This whiskey is an exploratory journey of aged bourbons and ryes blended to perfection that leaves your palate captivated with its bold elegance. I am thrilled with this release and very proud of the Michter’s team and our efforts to produce the best American Whiskey.”
Named the World’s Most Admired American Whiskey in an international poll conducted by UK-based Drinks International, Michter’s boasts a long legacy of offering traditional American whiskeys of uncompromising quality. With each of its limited production offerings aged to peak maturity, the distiller’s highly acclaimed collection includes bourbon, rye and American whiskey.
