Michter’s Single Barrel 10 Years Old Straight Rye Whiskey

A single barrel rye produced by one of the oldest distilleries in America and one of the most limited production items, Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye continues the legacy of America’s first whiskey variety (rye) from America’s first whiskey company (Michter’s, originally known as Shenk’s). After a nearly three year absence from the market, Michter’s then Master Distiller Willie Pratt finally gave the green light for the re-release of Michter’s 10 Year Straight Rye in April 2014.

Tasting Notes:

Deep notes of vanilla and toffee, toasted almonds and cinnamon with an ample dose of crushed pepper and a hint of orange citrus. Nut, mocha and leather dominate the palate and nose. Begins light and semi-sweet, then turns drier.
