Description: Since the 1990s, the Michter’s team has been at the forefront of revitalizing the high-quality American rye whiskey category. The inaugural release of Michter’s US1 Barrel Strength Rye in May 2015 marked a significant milestone in this endeavor. For maturation, the rye distillate is entered into the barrel at 103 proof, which is lower than the industry standard. While this lower barrel entry proof increases costs for Michter’s in terms of barrels and warehousing, we believe it results in a richer, smoother, and more full-bodied whiskey after proper aging. As a single barrel product, each bottle of Michter’s US1 Barrel Strength Rye is filled at its specific alcohol level at bottling, with most barrels falling between 107 and 112 proof. Enjoying it offers a unique experience for any rye whiskey enthusiast.
