Ingredients for Michter's 10YR Whiskey

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your whiskey glass. You can do this by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Add Ice

    Once the glass is chilled, remove it from the freezer or discard the ice water. Add 2 or 3 ice cubes to the glass, depending on your preference for dilution.

  3. 3

    Pour the Bourbon

    Measure out 2 oz of Michter's 10-Year-Old Bourbon and pour it over the ice in the glass.

  4. 4

    Optional Water

    If you prefer a smoother taste, add about 1 tsp of water to the bourbon. This will help open up the flavors.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Take a lemon twist and express the oils over the drink by holding the peel over the glass and giving it a gentle squeeze. Then, drop the twist into the drink for garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Your Michter’s 10YR is now ready to enjoy. Sip slowly to appreciate the rich flavors and aromas.
