Crafted with mastery and aged with care, each bottle of the 2021 Michter’s US*1 Limited Release Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Rye contains single barrel whiskey that has been barreled at 103 proof and then bottled at varying strengths, depending on the bottling date, with an average range of 107 to 112 proof. This limited edition, non-age-statement whiskey is aged in charred new American white oak barrels and expertly sourced from an undisclosed Kentucky distillery. The mash bill contains a minimum of 51% rye, which imparts a complex flavor profile. Notes of melted butter, oak, cherries, and cinnamon-spiced cloves provide an aromatic introduction, while the palate is treated to a delightful combination of sweet sugar, fire-baked wood, and black cherries roasted in brown sugar and baking spices.
