The Birth of Michter’s
Michter’s is a brand that has been in existence since the 1750s when the first distillery was founded in Pennsylvania. The brand became synonymous with quality and was a favorite among the locals, who would refer to it as the “best rye whiskey in the world.”
Unfortunately, the dark cloud of prohibition came along, and along with it came the demise of the brand as the distillery was forced to shut down. However, just like a phoenix rising from ashes, the brand was revived decades later by Joseph J. Magliocco.
The Revival
Joseph J. Magliocco, a lawyer from Brooklyn, acquired the Michter’s brand trademark in the 1990s with a vision to rekindle the brand’s legacy. After several years of searching and researching, he found the old Michter’s distillery in Pennsylvania and began to revive the brand.
It was a slow process, and it took several years of hard work and persistence, but Magliocco finally relaunched the brand in 2012. The new Michter’s Distillery was born, and with it, a new chapter in the brand’s rich history.
