“This will be the only release of our 10 Year Rye this year because we continue to be in a position where we need to allocate our whiskeys,” commented Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. “I am very grateful to our team for the terrific job they have been doing.” While Michter’s Fort Nelson Distillery has been shut since mid-March, Michter’s Shively Distillery has continued to distill and bottle.
The suggested U.S. retail price per 750ml bottle of Michter’s 10 Year Rye is $160.
Beyond its main distillery in the Shively section of Louisville, Michter’s operations extend to two other sites in Kentucky. In Springfield, Michter’s is farming estate-grown grain on its 145-acre property, while in downtown Louisville, Michter’s has its second distillery in the historic Fort Nelson building opposite Louisville Slugger and on the same block as the Frazier Museum.
Michter’s Fort Nelson Distillery features the legendary pot still system from Michter’s Pennsylvania Distillery. When open, it also has educational tours with whiskey tastings as well as The Bar at Fort Nelson, which features classic cocktails curated by spirits and cocktail historian David Wondrich.
