Michter's US 1, Kentucky Straight RYE

Michter's US 1, Kentucky Straight RYE

£67.00

Refined, complex and characterful - this is a seriously tasty rye whiskey

  • Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is the product of one barrel of exceptionally produced rye whiskey that utilises only the finest ingredients and traditional techniques
  • Each barrel of rye is selected by Michter's Master of Maturation when it reaches maturity, usually between five and eight years
  • This rye whiskey is an old "Kentucky style" of rye that utilises a higher percentage of corn in the mash bill. This gives the whiskey citrus notes and a buttery texture and helps to balance the more spicy and peppery flavours
  • Fresh on the nose, with strong aromatics of rye spice, and a little mintiness. Very refreshing and approachable
  • Soft and smooth on the palate - notably smoother than many ryes, in fact - this has great balance between the herbal spiciness of fennel and caraway seed and the creamy toffee notes from the cask
  • Type/Colour: Kentucky Straight
  • Alcohol: 42.4%
  • Bottle Size: 70cl
  • Country: USA

The US 1 expressions, so named to honor Michter's heritage harkening back to America's first whiskey company, consist of some of the finest single barrel and truly small batch whiskeys available. Distilled to Master Distiller Willie Pratt's exacting specifications, no US 1 whiskey is ever released until Willie and the Michter's tasting panel deems it ready.

Renowned for rye - America's oldest whiskey variety - since the earliest days of our history, we take the production of Michter's US 1 Rye extremely seriously. Our Michter's US 1 Rye is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to maximize the extraction of flavor from the grain. Ideal neat or in cocktails, every bottle of Michter's US 1 Rye comes from a single barrel - a unique attribute reflecting our extraordinary commitment to offering Kentucky Straight Rye whiskey of the absolute highest quality at every level of the Michter's range.
