Michter's whiskey company has a storied history dating back to 1753 when it was founded by John Shenk in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, specialising in whiskey made from rye grain. Notably, during the Revolutionary War, General George Washington himself purchased their whiskey to warm his troops at Valley Forge. Although the distillery changed hands over the years, it wasn't until the 1950s when Lou Forman established the modern Michter's brand name. Unfortunately, Michter's faced financial difficulties and declared bankruptcy in 1989, leaving its Pennsylvania operations in a state of disrepair.

However, in the 1990s, Joseph J. Magliocco and Richard "Dick" Newman embarked on a mission to resurrect Michter's legacy. They sought to produce top-quality whiskey and decided to relocate operations to Kentucky, the heart of the American whiskey industry, to achieve this goal. With a commitment to honouring Michter's heritage, they acquired the unused trademark and began revitalising the brand. Today, Michter's thrives with three locations in Kentucky, including a sprawling 78,000 square foot distillery in the Shively section of Louisville, the architecturally significant Fort Nelson Building on Louisville's Museum Row, and 205 acres of farmland in Springfield.
