Brand
Michter's
Michter’s began in Pennsylvania, and died there, too, with the brand declaring bankruptcy in 1989. It was forced to close its doors on Valentine’s Day of the following year, and we can only assume the employees drank a bunch of Michter’s and cried in the tub. But the name was revived thanks to the joint efforts of bourbon lovers Joe Magliocco and Dick Newman of Chatham Imports, who bought the brand name in 1997. It would take some years and cash to establish a presence in Kentucky, which today includes a 145-acre grain farm in Springfield purchased in 2018. Michter’s started doing its own distilling in Kentucky proper in 2015. Previously, in the early 2000s, Michter’s had whiskeys being made to its specifications by other Kentucky distilleries, and began experimenting at its own place in Shively in 2014. It finally produced Kentucky-made Michter’s in 2015. Produce a variety of Ryes and Bourbons with age statements up to 25 years.
