Tasting Notes
Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Straight Rye is a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. The initial aroma greets you with a sweet medley of stewed fruits, currants, and nostalgic cola bottle candies, complemented by the warmth of charred oak and a hint of eucalyptus. As you take a sip, the rye spice comes alive, supported by the rich notes of honeycomb, browned butter, and toffee, while undertones of smoked oak and dried mint add depth. The finish lingers with a fiery warmth of pepper and cinnamon, leaving a robust oak char that lingers pleasantly. This exceptional whiskey is a true labor of love, with Michter's meticulously filling the casks at a lower strength to ensure a smoother, richer experience, despite the added costs. Prepare to elevate your Manhattan game with this extraordinary rye whiskey.
