Michter’s Celebration Sour Mash 2016 – Release No. 2
The Michter’s Celebration Sour Mash 2016 Release is one of the rarest and most prestigious American whiskies ever produced. First launched in 2013, the Celebration Series continued with limited editions in 2016, 2019, and 2022, each crafted to represent the pinnacle of Michter’s blending mastery.
The 2016 edition stands out as Release No. 2, bottled at 116.8 proof and limited to just 256 bottles worldwide. Each hand-engraved bottle showcases Michter’s commitment to heritage and craftsmanship. According to Willie Pratt, Michter’s Master Distiller, this exquisite blend combines six barrels of Kentucky straight rye and bourbon, aged from just over 10 to more than 30 years old — resulting in exceptional balance, depth, and richness.
Each bottle comes presented in a red leather case with an accompanying sealed note and original outer packaging, making it an impeccable centerpiece for collectors seeking to purchase collectible bourbon or invest in rare whiskey with historic significance.
