“Our team has been turning out some wonderful Kentucky style ryes over the years, and this 2021 release continues that trend,” noted Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. Master Distiller Dan McKee added, “I was really happy when we tasted these barrels. This release has so much of what I look for in a rye.”
Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye is a single barrel product, and the average proof of the barrels in the March 2021 release is 110.3 proof. The Rye Whiskey will be priced at $25 for a 750ml bottle.
“These barrels are at just the right point to highlight the beautiful nuances of a great rye whiskey,” said Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. “This release is a powerhouse.”
