Michter's to Release Celebration Mash for 1st Time Since 2019
Michter's Distillery will begin shipping the 2022 Edition of its Celebration Sour Mash this February 2023. Originally intended to ship after its bottling in late 2022, the release was delayed by supply chain issues involving the arrival of packaging. This will be the fourth ever Michter's Celebration release and the first one since 2019.
Only 328 bottles of the 2022 Edition of Michter's Celebration will be released worldwide. It is 112.8 proof/56.4% alcohol by volume and will have a suggested retail price of $6,000 per bottle in the United States.
Each bottle of the 2022 Edition comes in a special gift box that has a drawer containing a letter signed by Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee. "This is the second time that I have had the honor of working with our team to produce a Michter's Celebration release," remarked McKee. "This edition contains whiskeys personally selected by me from seven extraordinary barrels: three of them Kentucky straight bourbon and four of them Kentucky straight rye."
