Michter's traces its roots back to 1753, when John Shenk founded a distillery in Pennsylvania, making it one of the oldest whiskey-making operations in American history. Over the centuries, the brand passed through several names — first known as Shenk's, then Bomberger's — before eventually becoming Michter's. The brand survived Prohibition, closures, and decades of uncertainty before being reborn under a new generation of ownership committed to honoring its storied heritage. In 2012, Michter's began building its own distillery in Shively, Kentucky, with the first whiskeys distilled there in 2015, and a second landmark location at Fort Nelson in Louisville. Michter's is celebrated for its meticulous, quality-first approach to American whiskey. The flagship US☆1 range — named to honor the brand's heritage as America's first whiskey company — features single barrel bourbon, rye, American whiskey, and sour mash whiskey. Beyond the core lineup, Michter's releases highly sought-after limited expressions, including 10, 20, and 25 Year bourbons and ryes that command considerable attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. Michter's has earned a remarkable international reputation, becoming the first American brand to be named "The World's Most Admired Whiskey" by Drinks International's prestigious annual poll of industry experts — a title it has claimed multiple times, cementing its place among the elite of global whiskey.
