Michter's 20 Year Old Bourbon 2022 H2515

The Michter’s 20 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon 2022 (Batch H2515) is one of the most consistently acclaimed ultra-aged American bourbons in production — released annually in tiny quantities from Michter’s Fort Nelson Distillery in Louisville. Two decades in new charred American oak produces extraordinary concentration, depth, and complexity that few American whiskeys achieve.

Michter’s 20 Year is produced in extremely limited annual batches from barrels selected by Master Distiller Pamela Heilmann and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson for optimal peak maturation. The 2022 release (Batch H2515) reflects the deep, dark, and oak-integrated character that defines the best vintage expressions of this release — consistently scoring 95+ points and winning top honors at international competitions.

Tasting Notes

Deep mahogany color. The nose opens with dark caramel, toasted oak, dried cherry, and leather with hints of dark chocolate and vanilla. The palate delivers rich layers of dried fruit, butterscotch, cigar box, and warm spice. The finish is extraordinarily long, smooth, and complex — warm oak and chocolate lingering for minutes.
