A stunning expression of premium Kentucky rye. Michter's US*1 Rye is a Single Barrel release, meaning every bottle is drawn from a solitary, hand-selected cask to ensure peak flavor. The distillery is famous for its low barrel entry proof and heavily toasted/fire-charred barrels, which extract an unbelievable amount of rich flavor from the wood. Bottled at 84.8 proof, it delivers a masterful balance of spicy rye kick, citrus, and deep, sweet butterscotch.
NOSE
Bright and fragrant with aromas of cracked black pepper, fresh mint, orange peel, and warm vanilla.
PALATE
Incredibly well-balanced and smooth. A gentle wave of peppery rye spice is beautifully tempered by rich butterscotch, sweet caramel, and toasted oak.
FINISH
Crisp, smooth, and lingering with a pleasant, spicy warmth and sweet citrus.
