Michter’s Us*1 Barrel Strength Rye
Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye is a 55.9% ABV Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey in a 700ml bottle, bottled from a single barrel at its individual barrel strength. Distilled and bottled in Kentucky, this limited-release American rye is matured in fire-charred new American white oak after entering the barrel at 103 proof.
This Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a single-barrel release, so bottling strength varies by barrel; this supplied bottle is 55.9% ABV. Michter’s enters the rye distillate into fire-charred, new American white oak barrels at 103 proof, a lower entry proof than commonly used in the industry. The producer identifies the expression as distilled and bottled in Kentucky.
The whiskey shows a rich auburn colour. Its aroma combines butterscotch, cinnamon and a suggestion of cherry, while the taste opens warming and rich with toasty vanilla and caramel. A dry oak-led rye spice carries through the finish, giving the high-strength pour a firm, savoury close.
This is a considered rye for slow sipping, especially for drinkers who enjoy warming oak spice alongside caramel and vanilla notes. Serve neat in a small whisky glass; a little water may be added gradually to tailor the intensity.
