Fort Nelson Fill Your Own Bottle Experience

Bottle fill only

Open to individuals

Michter's doesn't run a traditional whole-barrel trade pick program the way the others here do. What they've got instead is a hand-fill-your-own-bottle experience at Fort Nelson in Louisville. You walk in, fill one personalized bottle straight from a barrel, and walk out. Fun for a visit, but it's not a substitute for a real barrel selection program. We're marking this one limited because we couldn't confirm or rule out a separate trade-only whole-barrel track.
