Commercial Description:
Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey is made primarily of rye grains, though the exact mashbill is undisclosed. Once the grains have been fermented, they are distilled through a copper pot still. The rye distillate enters the barrels at 103 proof, which is considerably lower than than many other brands.
Tasting Notes:
Sharp cinnamon and butterscotch flow strongly from the glass. A deep and rich cherry scent follows instantly grounding the aroma. A flex of marmalade, graham cracker, and leather further pop with distant oak in the background. It comes together extremely well due to its forcefulness of both scents and intensity.
Burnt orange peel, robust dry oak, and blackstrap molasses create an interesting and surprising opening to the sip. These flavors come across as much darker and more intense than you typically find with higher proof ryes. As a result, some light astringency develops. Additional notes of rich vanilla and toasted rye spice round out its flavor profile adding balance. Like the nose, the whiskey is forceful, even punchy in parts, asserting its influence with precision.
