Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye is an acclaimed, highly allocated limited-production expression prized for its exceptional balance and mature, "bourbon-style" sweetness.
Profile & Specifications
- Proof: 92.8 proof (46.4% ABV).
- Mash Bill: Undisclosed, but crafted as a "Kentucky-style" rye containing a generous amount of corn and malted barley alongside the required rye grain.
- Production: Hand-selected single barrels matured in fire-charred, new American white oak. Due to Michter’s rigid quality standards, individual barrels are frequently over-aged and contain whiskey significantly older than the 10-year statement.
- Distillation: As of recent releases, the liquid remains sourced or contract-distilled to Michter's exact specifications (such as their signature low 103-proof barrel entry strength), though aging and bottling take place at their Shively facility.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Prominent aromas of vanilla bean, dusty butterscotch, and warm toffee. Sweeter notes are balanced by herbal mint, green apple, and dark orchard fruits with a soft layer of seasoned oak.
- Palate: Creamy and buttery mouthfeel. It leads with rich caramel, cinnamon roll, and dark berries, followed by a rising wave of savory rye spice, crushed black pepper, and candied orange citrus. It intentionally lacks the heavy herbal dill punch found in high-rye mash bills.
- Finish: Medium to long, closing with a warm chest hug. Lingering notes of toasted oak, milk chocolate, and sweet baking spices outlast the initial pepper.
