Michter's - Limited Release Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. 111 Proof- 2024 release

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.
