The Michter’s US*1 Single Barrel Straight Rye is an extraordinary whisky from the United States, a perfect representative of American distillation craftsmanship. Made with selected rye, this rye whisky stands out for its vibrant energy and balance between robustness and finesse. The Kentucky region, known for its ideal climate and pure water, helps shape the character of this distillate.

Each bottle of Michter’s Single Barrel comes from a single barrel, carefully chosen to ensure superior quality and a unique aromatic profile. Aging in American oak barrels imparts notes of vanilla, honey, and sweet spices, accompanied by a touch of pepper and toasted cereals typical of rye. On the palate, there is a velvety, long, and harmonious texture, with a persistent finish that enhances the spicy notes.

Ideal to enjoy neat or with a cube of ice, this rye whisky pairs well with hearty dishes such as smoked meats or aged cheeses, highlighting its complex qualities and distinctive personality. A fine choice for those who appreciate handcrafted whiskies with great character.

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.
