Love Michters, just got into the last 2 years but have been satisfied and impressed with every bottle I have been able to find in my market.

[@AndyFL64]

Great video guys. Discovered Michters recently....very smooth.

[@maddie4077]

I used to run in the Michters Mash Dash every year back in my younger days. It started at the original distillery in PA.

[@andy1232269]

Fantastic video! Really great work.

[@retrolee]

Nice. Michael + Peter = Flavtastic!!

[@TexasBoy-qv2pq]

Very informative! Another distillery I know little about is Barton. Y'all should do a video about them.

[@markmccaleb4038]

Cool video, love learning facts like this so kudos to you for sharing these fun and interesting videos

[@CrysSimon]

Incredible short, sweet AND informative primer on Michter's - well done!

[@krystalmoore3842]

My son works at Michter's! It's a great company with a great product!

[@burbguy2195]

Awesome video guys! Really enjoyed it. Keep up the great content!

[@Jeshwa15]

How much of Michter's bottlings are sourced bourbon/rye? Their US1 bourbon still only says it was bottles by them, no word on who actually distilled it.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

They offically started putting white dog into barrels in Aug. of 2015, so the 10 year stuff won't be there's for a few more years at least.

[@Andreas-1979]

That was a great video. Would like to see more of those, no matter which distillery. Cheers, Andy

[@bryanmacke]

great video! would love to see more. and with the bourbon world constantly changing it would be cool to hear any current updates that distilleries do for visitors, along with the great history points you guys hit on

[@WasItTheChad]

I can't believe I miss these distillery shout outs I'll have to catch up.

[@RandallChase1]

That was really cool to learn that info and great b-roll

[@bigcountrybriar9911]

Michter’s American is a favorite. Nice vid!

[@danielshires3580]

Great video very informative thank you. All those items I never knew I’m from Michigan. There’s some nice distilleries here to come check out. One in particular is called Ironfish distilleries in Thompsonville Michigan.

[@derreckgasser8849]

Headed there for the founders tour on Friday, this got me more excited

[@davevogelsang6791]

This was an awesome video. I love the history and would like to see more of these. Currently, the only Michter’s I have on the shelf is the American Whiskey.

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for sharing 🥃

[@holysmokescharles]

Love Michters. Another fact their small batches are only 20 barrel blends. Loved the Fort Nelson tour and bar

[@iamchade]

Keep these rolling! Love it

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Thanks, Extra Crispy. Stay crispy!

[@davidlittle6621]

Excellent episode!

[@christopherryan7654]

I didn't know any of that!!

[@daviddrust1219]

I'd like to see you all visiting the Old Pogue Distillery in Mason County, Kentucky if possible 🥃

[@SuperDanPE-KY]

I grew up in Springfield KY- never knew this about Michter’s

[@JimFosterVO]

Different format, but a nice change-up. Thanks!

[@sarge2832]

Great video!

[@tennesseejed187]

I really really like the idea of this series. Definitely make more. But give us nerds some more dirt. Most of this was Wikipedia first paragraph stuff… but maybe I’m missing the the point. Either way big fan keep it up!

[@WhispyWoods.]

Awesome vid! Keep the educational series coming! You two are dangerously close to 1000000 subscribers. I’ll be able to tell my grandkids that I was a fan before you hit that threshold 😁

[@877-MASH-NOW]

WHISKEY CHEERS 😎

[@KennethRathburn]

BTW some Wilderness Trail rye enters the barrel at 100 proof, so technically they have the lowest barrel entry proof.

[@mfhorgan]

As the lore goes, Gen. George Washington procured barrels of whiskey from the Schaefferstown distillery for his troops on their way to Valley Forge

[@jeremywilson6949]

As a former military member he also issued GO1 which was no drinking lol

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Yes indeed!

[@MrStreetninja007]

Do you have to take a tour to be able to fill your own bottle

[@josephloibissio4818]

Nice distillery synopsis. Is this a new type of video format/subject? If so, keep it up!

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Thanks! Fairly new, we have 2 others, one about Blanton’s and another about Maker’s Mark. Just search “5 Things You Didn’t Know” on our channel and they should both come up!

[@richardbostan4286]

Does anybody know which bourbon distilleries use air-dried barrels, and which use the kiln-dried barrels? On Ralfy's channel the claim has often been made that air-dried is much better, but more expensive.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

I would say all the big distilleries use air dried barrels, but the amount of time used to air dry can vary a lot. I think around 6 months is the standard, but then you have some places that will do it a minimum of 18 months.

[@blove932]

Which distillery offers sales of special releases?

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Are you asking about Michter's specifically? Only location that sells bottles is the Fort Nelson location in Louisville.

[@blove932]

@@ItsBourbonNight Yes, Michters specifically. Thanks

[@brienburke4382]

Stizel Weller distillery.

[@aaronmulcahy2004]

Old Forester.

[@mellowfellow7]

Hmm, I thought Woodford Doubled Oaked was the first toasted bourbon.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

I think Woodford D.O. is just a double barreled bourbon, so from one charred barrel into another charred barrel. With Michter's, it goes from a toasted and charred barrel into a toasted only barrel.

[@tylersmith3626]

Very interesting, but if it’s Michael+Peter I wonder why it’s not pronounced “Mike-ter’s”

[@ItsBourbonNight]

If they ended up spelling it that way, yeah. haha!

[@Whiskey_BS]

Really? Michters name comes from Michael / Peter combo. I gotta say I’m a bit disappointed. I was expecting something like Joseph Michter, descendent from the Weller family. 😅

[@chrislewis8498]

Awesome video!
