The original distillery was built in 1753 and closed 1989 after a bankruptcy filling.

Since 2004, whiskeys, including bourbon, rye, and a version of the Michter’s Original Sour Mash brand, made in Kentucky, have been sold under the Michter’s label, now owned by Chatham Imports, Inc.

The company has built a new distillery in Louisville, also known as the Michter’s Distillery.
