Brand History
Michter's US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is produced by Michter's Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. The brand traces its heritage to Michter's Distillery, originally established in Pennsylvania in 1753 and operating as the oldest distillery in the United States until its closure in the 1980s. Michter's was revived in 1997 and relocated to Louisville to capitalize on Kentucky bourbon heritage and resources. The US1 designation represents the company's philosophy of limited production, selective barrel aging, and uncompromising quality standards. The name "US*1" reflects the brand's commitment to being a distinctly American whiskey produced to the highest standards.
