Whisky Advocate On The Revival Of Michter’s

March 15, 2024

Last year, Michter’s president Joseph Magliocco was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. After starting his career on the distribution side, Magliocco spearheaded Chatham Imports’ acquisition of the Michter’s trademark in the 1990s for $245 and set out to restart the historic brand with whiskey made in Kentucky, which he considered the best place in the world for Bourbon.

Today, Michter’s is sold in all 50 states and over 60 export markets. The brand has two Louisville distilleries—Michter’s Shively Distillery and Michter’s Fort Nelson Distillery—as well as a 205-acre farm and operations hub in Springfield, Kentucky. Whisky Advocate takes a look at Magliocco’s revival of the storied Michter’s brand.
