Michter's 20 Year
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- M20 is absolutely the pinnacle for me. I've been lucky to try some amazing pours in my journey, but nothing comes close. 24I barrel bottles are the end all for me.
- M20 is the second highest I’ve ever rated a bottle in my life behind only a dumpy Springbank from 1993 that was distilled in 1968.
- Parent context: Review #240: Michter's 20 (2025) Reply: Agreed. This is the only thing I’ve ever tasted that was perfect. A transcendent experience.
- Parent context: Review #240: Michter's 20 (2025) Reply: Best whiskey I’ve ever had. 10/10 doesn’t do it justice.
- Michter’s 20 (I’ve never owned a bottle but I reviewed 19H1440 and gave it a 9.8)
Cons
- It is definitely VERY good but given the price and availability, Michters 10 does it. There is a point of diminishing returns and this is the best example of that.

This is a fantastic bottle - but subjectively I’ll take Michter’s 20 without a second thought.
Ive had a fat pour of M20. It was the best bourbon I've ever had
I’ve only ever landed on something above a 9.5 twice (Michter’s 20 and the 1996 vintage Whisky Sponge 26 Year Old Springbank). ... The Michter’s 20? The only thing I really might like more about it could be a few proof points higher, but again - that’s nit picku
At the thousands of dollars price point? I’d only be interested in select old vintage Springbank bottles or Michter’s 20. There’s really nothing else that would ever make me consider dropping that kind of money on a bottle. This one does not approach that level of greatness.
