While we regularly sample all of our Michter's barrels to see how our whiskey is aging, we pay even extra special attention to our barrels once they are over 17 years old. At Michter's we consider 17 to 20 years the "Fork in the road point", when certain barrels of whiskey can achieve an extraordinary level of quality. It is these particular barrels that our Master Distiller, Dan McKee, personally selects for our very limited bottling of Michter's 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

he award-winning Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a limited-release whiskey inspired by the passion and craftsmanship of the legendary Stitzel-Weller distillery. Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old was most recently aged and bottled at Stitzel-Weller. Smooth and smoky, this limited-release bourbon's taste is accented with notes of torched sugar and apples baked in honey and spices. Its aroma is one of toasted oak mixed with vanilla bean, fig and just a touch of caramel. Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was named the “Best Straight Bourbon” and received the DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
