Michter’s
Discover the spirits, production style and story of Michter’s.
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.
