A global academy of experts convened by Drinks International has bestowed the whiskey industry’s highest honor on Louisville-based Michter’s for the third consecutive year: The World’s Most Admired Whiskey. The annual Drinks International top-50 ranking is considered the definitive list of the world’s best whiskies and represents the pinnacle of achievement in the trade.
The rankings are determined by an international academy consisting of 100 independent global drinks buyers, journalists, bartenders and whisky experts. According to Shay Waterworth, Editor of Drinks International, “Michter’s ticks all the boxes when it comes to being an Admired Whiskey brand. It honours traditional practice while pushing innovation, it has provenance without being old fashioned and its whiskey is exclusive, but available in all the right places. Over the past 30 years Joe and Matt Magliocco and the whole Michter’s family have built a powerful reputation with the global bar trade, while the quality of its whiskey is revered by the industry’s top experts. To top our ranking once was an impressive achievement, but to do it three times on the bounce is unparalleled, and something I doubt we’ll see again for some time.”
All of us at Michter’s are deeply grateful to each and every one of our industry supporters and everyone who enjoys Michter’s. We are humbled beyond words to be named The Most Admired Whiskey in the World.
