Michter's — one of the rarest annual American whiskey releases produced by any distillery, the 2022 release of Michter's most prestigious expression, aged two full decades at the Fort Nelson Distillery in Louisville.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichter's 20-year bourbon is released only when the distillery's master of maturation determines that the available barrels have reached the quality threshold — there is no annual guarantee of release. Years can pass without a Michter's 20-year release when the available stock doesn't meet the standard. The 2022 H2518 batch represents a specific selection of barrels that passed that threshold, making it among the most carefully curated single releases in American whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 20 years, the bourbon has undergone twice the minimum aging of the most celebrated BTAC expressions, producing the deep dried fruit, leather, dark chocolate, and worn oak character that only two decades in Kentucky barrels can deliver. The batch designation H2518 identifies the specific production batch within Michter's warehouse inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried fruit, dark chocolate, leather, vanilla, warm oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raisins, caramel, worn leather, toasted oak, baking spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptionally long, dark fruit and oak, lingering warmth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michter's Fort Nelson Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Whiskey, 20 Year\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBatch:\u003c\/strong\u003e H2518 — 2022\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/rare\"\u003erare spirits at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhy is Michter's 20-year released so infrequently?\u003c\/strong\u003e Michter's only releases the 20-year when master of maturation Andrea Wilson determines that available barrels meet the standard — there is no guaranteed annual release.
