Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, 70 cl, 42.4% ABV

Product Information

Not only the sight in the sherry glass / nosing glass of this US whiskey - whiskey bewitch the spirits lover. The whiskey explodes with flavour of rye spice, alongside bursts of black pepper, zesty citrus, sweet butterscotch and warm oak. This single-barrel rye is full to the brim with inviting and spicy flavours, sure to entice any whiskey lover. Often significantly older than the age statement on the label, only a select few barrels age with the elegance required for inclusion in these highly limited releases. Renowned for rye – America’s oldest whiskey variety – since the earliest days of our history, Michter’s take the production of US1 Kentucky Straight Rye extremely seriously.

After a nearly three year absence from the market, Michter’s then Master Distiller Willie Pratt finally gave the green light for the re-release of Michter’s 10 Year Straight Rye in April 2014.

All spirit at Michter’s is distilled using copper column and pot stills before entering the barrel at 103 proof. Born and bred in Kentucky, Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Rye is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to maximise the extraction of flavour.

Michter's more recent history, however, really begins in the 1990s when two men sought to revive the much loved (but sadly declined) brand down in Kentucky, the heartland of American Whiskey. Every bottle comes from a single barrel – a unique attribute reflecting their extraordinary commitment to offering Kentucky Straight Rye whiskey of the absolute highest quality.
