Michter’s US 1 Bourbon is a tribute to the heritage of America’s first distilling company. Produced in the historic Fort Nelson building in Louisville, Kentucky, this whiskey is defined by a commitment to quality that borders on the obsessive. Michter’s uses exclusively non-GMO American grains, classified as "US No. 1" the highest quality grade available according to USDA standards.
The production process is uniquely meticulous: each batch is "batched" in a holding tank sized to fit a maximum of only twenty full barrels. This small-batch approach leaves zero margin for error, ensuring that every barrel meets the distillery's rigorous standards of excellence before bottling.
