The Whisky US*1 BarrelL Strength Rye by Michter’s represents a rare excellence in the realm of American rye whiskies, produced with a meticulous selection of the finest raw materials in the historic territory of Kentucky, the beating heart of the United States distilling tradition.

This rye stands out for its power and aromatic concentration typical of the Barrel Strength version, meaning full proof, which harmoniously enhances the complexity of the century-old grain. On the nose, it releases intense scents of spices characteristic of rye, accompanied by delicate notes of vanilla and toasted wood, derived from aging in American oak barrels. On the palate, its warm and enveloping structure opens with hints of black pepper, slightly smoky caramel, and dried fruit aromas, while the finish is long and persistent with a pleasant herbal vein.

Perfect for enthusiasts seeking a robust and authentic spirit, this rye is suited for contemplative sipping or to be the protagonist of high-quality cocktails, highlighting the tradition and uniqueness of the American territory.

Distillation

Production uses equipment including small pot stills (pot-to-pot system) and a large copper column (cited as 32" diameter and ~46 ft tall in the Shively facility). Fort Nelson also operates with historic pot stills and cypress wooden fermenters recovered from the old Pennsylvania Michter's; Shively uses steel fermenters for larger productions.

Ageing

Aging in new, charred American oak barrels, with use of staves toasted before charring for some products; barreling at a lower entry proof (around 103 proof) to promote a different maturation chemistry; use of heat cycling in warehouses to increase interaction between spirit and wood; many releases are single-barrel or very small batch.
