Michter's Single Barrel Straight Rye Bourbon (750Ml)

Description

This rye whiskey is crafted with at least 51% rye grain and aged for a minimum of two years in new, charred oak barrels. Each bottle comes from a single barrel, which means the flavor can vary slightly between releases, highlighting the unique character of that barrel. Bottled at a moderate 84.8 proof (42.4% ABV), it is smooth, approachable, and easy to enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails like a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.

The whiskey begins with a lower barrel entry proof of 103, which helps create a richer and more full-bodied spirit after maturation. It is aged in toasted and charred American white oak barrels, often air-dried for up to four years, and stored in climate-controlled warehouses to ensure gentle, consistent aging. While the full mash bill is undisclosed, it blends rye, corn, and malted barley, producing a balance of spice and sweetness. Common tasting notes include butterscotch, cinnamon, black pepper, vanilla, citrus, and oak.

The brand honors a long heritage dating back to 1753 and focuses on quality over a fixed age, releasing bottles only when they reach peak flavor. Highly acclaimed for its complexity and smoothness, it has earned praise and awards, making it a standout choice for whiskey lovers.
