Michters Toasted and 10 Year

[morebourbon85]

I'm looking for these two and wondering how much I should be expecting to pay for them?

I saw both yesterday. The toasted was 79$ retail and the 10 year was $359.00. The 10 year was at a place where the ETL was $139 so very inflated im sure. The toasted was at a place with very reasonable prices.

Ok, i edited the post. Didn't realize that.

Michter's 10 retails at $120 but many stores sell it for $150-200, this isn't really so rare that you need to look for it on the secondary, you can generally find it from various online vendors:

Micther's Toasted retail is $50 but you'll probably be looking at more like $80-120, this one tends to be a bit harder to find because it was more limited release as far as I know.

Will the toasted be a one and done or will they do this one again?

It looks like there was a 2014 and 2015 release but the 2016 release was canceled due to shortages in stock, and I don't think they released one in 2017 either.

In 2017 they've released a Toasted Rye at barrel proof.

 

Michter's reportedly get's it's standard stock from Brown-Forman, which I would believe as it has a clear resemblance to Woodford Reserve. I'm not sure where they get the stock for the 10 year, I vaguely recall someone mentioning it may have been a difference source but I can't remember. It's also been said that the quality of M10 has been slipping with each release, getting noticeably younger. I can't verify this as I've only had the standard Michter's *1 and the Rye and barrel proof Rye.

 

Edit: flahute's post here is what I was referring to:

Ask your local liquor store.

Michter's 10, in it's post-2014 form, is one of the worst price to quality values in all of bourbon in my opinion. I see it at $90 when Total Wine gets it in, and it's an easy pass even at that price for me. Some places as already noted sell it for much more than that. 

 

It is unfortunate that Michter's has bastardized this label so badly. An early bottle of M10 was one of the best bottles of whiskey I ever had. The stuff released 2015 and forward is nothing even close to what it used to be.
