Since the 1990’s, the Michter’s team has been doing pioneering work to re-establish the high-quality American Rye whiskey category. The May 2015 inaugural release of Michter’s US★1 Barrel Strength Rye marked yet another milestone in that quest. For maturation, the Rye distillate is entered into the barrel at 103 proof, rather than a more industry-standard higher proof. Barrel entry at a lower proof of 103 rather than a higher proof costs Michter’s more money in terms of barrels and warehousing, but we believe it yields a richer, smoother, more full-bodied whiskey after proper maturation. A single-barrel product, each barrel of Michter’s US★1 Barrel Strength Rye is bottled at its particular alcohol level at the time of bottling. To savor it is a unique experience for anyone who enjoys rye whiskey.
Butterscotch and cinnamon with a hint of cherries on the nose; warming, rich, toasty vanilla and caramel up front with a dry, oaky spice on the finish.
Barreling Strength: 120.2 Proof
Bottling Strength: As a single-barrel product, each barrel is bottled at its particular alcohol level at the time of bottling. The bottling strength of the 2025 release ranges from 107.4 to 115.2 proof.
Cooperage: Fire-charred, new American white oak barrels.
