Michters 10 Years Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon is a masterclass in patience and precision—an annual release that has earned its cult following for good reason. Aged a full decade in new charred American oak, each barrel is personally chosen by Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson and Master Distiller Dan McKee for its depth and balance.

At 94.4 proof, it’s bold yet graceful. The nose opens with baked pecan pie, vanilla bean, and a whiff of charred oak. The palate delivers rich caramel, dark chocolate, orange oil, and seasoned wood, layered with toasted spice and honeyed grain. The finish is long, warming, and sophisticated—vanilla, cinnamon, and a hint of tobacco weaving together like a perfect closing chord.

Each bottle represents a single barrel—unique, unhurried, and unmistakably Michter’s.

Nose: Vanilla bean, toasted pecan, caramel, and seasoned oak.

Palate: Caramelized sugar, dark chocolate, orange peel, and warm baking spice.

Finish: Long and elegant; oak, cinnamon, and faint tobacco sweetness linger beautifully.

Pair with seared ribeye or smoked duck breast to complement its rich caramel and spice. For dessert, dark chocolate tart or pecan pie amplify the vanilla-toffee notes. Aged Gouda or nutty Comté brings out its oak depth while keeping the sweetness in check.
