20 years. 2024. Batch I3209. Michter's — the 2024 release of Michter's ultra-selective 20-year bourbon program, one of three consecutive release years in the current Wooden Cork collection alongside the 2022 H2518 and the 2025 Edition.

Michter's releases the 20-year bourbon only when master of maturation Andrea Wilson determines that available barrels have reached the quality threshold — no guaranteed annual release, quality-threshold-driven over calendar-driven. The 2024 Batch I3209 is the middle expression in the current three-release set, drawing on barrels that met the standard at a different point in their maturation than either the 2022 or 2025 batches.

Having three consecutive Michter's 20-year releases in the collection — 2022 H2518, 2024 I3209, and 2025 Edition — is an extraordinary circumstance for a program that can go years between releases. Together they form a three-vintage comparison of the program's most recent outputs.
