Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel (2017 Release) Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

One of their 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.

Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel (2017 Release) Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: There is a citrusy note present from the rye, which when crossed with the oak, emerges as candied orange peel and freshly-baked angel’s food cake. The subtle smoky spiciness reads more like quince or bruleed banana peel than black pepper.

Palate: Whereas the nose is inviting and silky smooth, the first taste clobbers you both with a dry woodiness and a complexity of layered alcohol and earth tones molded in to a hefty, luxurious dram with a thick-but-not-sweet mouthfeel. Deeper analysis pulls out a tannic note of singed hay, a slight ester profile with hints of tropical fruit,.

Finish: A wood-laced finish in each sip that can best be described as beefy and burly.
