The story
The brand’s origins trace back to the historic operation started in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania (originally Shenk's/Bomberger's) with roots the owners themselves link to 1753. The Michter’s name as known today was created in the 20th century; the modern brand was relaunched in the 1990s by Joseph J. Magliocco with the aim of reviving the tradition and quality of the old label, relocating operations to Kentucky and developing production facilities in Louisville (Shively and Fort Nelson).
Distillation
Production uses equipment including small pot stills (pot-to-pot system) and a large copper column (cited as 32" diameter and ~46 ft tall in the Shively facility). Fort Nelson also operates with historic pot stills and cypress wooden fermenters recovered from the old Pennsylvania Michter's; Shively uses steel fermenters for larger productions.
Ageing
Aging in new, charred American oak barrels, with use of staves toasted before charring for some products; barreling at a lower entry proof (around 103 proof) to promote a different maturation chemistry; use of heat cycling in warehouses to increase interaction between spirit and wood; many releases are single-barrel or very small batch.
