But the shipments won’t solve the shortage in supply of Michter’s whiskeys.
The suggested U.S. retail price per 750ml bottle of Michter’s 10 Year Rye is $160.
“We have been expanding our operations, but great whiskey takes time,” commented Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. “At Michter’s we’ve made a conscious decision to continue to take the costly and time-consuming steps we do, rather than adopt practices that would increase our supply more quickly. Our team is committed to offering the highest quality whiskey possible, and we’re grateful to everyone who has been loyal to Michter’s as we have been working through these shortages.”
Beyond its main distillery in the Shively section of Louisville, Michter’s operations extend to two other sites in Kentucky. In Springfield, Michter’s has begun farming estate grown grain on its 145-acre property, while in downtown Louisville, Michter’s is planning to open its second distillery in the historic Fort Nelson building later this year. Fort Nelson boasts a prime location on West Main Street opposite the Louisville Slugger Bat Factory and Museum and on the same block as the Frazier Museum.
