Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon is a bottle that I have only seen in stores a handful of times. It is a bourbon I have always wanted to try, but it is always way more over retail than I prefer to pay. On a recent trip to Orlando, the hotel bar had a bottle with a decent price per pour, $36 per 2oz and I gave it a try.
Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon is without a doubt one of the best 10 year bourbons that I have tried. The balance and flavors were all fantastic. My only issue is the price tag. Even at retail, I think this is very overpriced. With other great 10 year options out there for around the $40 to $50 range, I would pass on this one unless you can find it reasonably priced at a bar.
