The 2014 annual release of Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon — now over a decade from its original release date, available only through specialty retailers with legacy inventory.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMichter's 10 Year Single Barrel is the distillery's annual limited expression — released each year when Master Distiller Dan McKee (in consultation with Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson) determines that available 10-year barrels have reached peak quality. Unlike mass-produced 10-year bourbons that bottle on a fixed schedule, Michter's releases the 10 Year only when specific barrels meet the standard — meaning some years have limited releases and others have none.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAs a single barrel expression, each bottle of Michter's 10 Year is a unique individual barrel — same distillery, same mashbill, same 10-year standard, but the specific barrel's character producing slight variation in proof and tasting notes from bottle to bottle. The 2014 is now over a decade from its fall release window, making it one of the older Michter's 10 Year vintages available through specialty retailers with preserved legacy stock.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich amber from 10 years of Michter's sour mash production in Kentucky oak.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, and warm spice — Michter's characteristic profile at 10-year single barrel maturity.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and full — the Michter's sour mash character producing a refined, complex expression at 10 years.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-long and warm — the single barrel's individual character through a satisfying close.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michter's Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Single Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014 annual\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eApproved by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dan McKee (Master Distiller)\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\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 2014 Michter's 10 Year compare to more recent releases?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each annual release reflects the specific barrels approved that year.
