Description
Every Bottle Comes From One Barrel
Not a small batch — a single barrel, bottled on its own. That means the bottle you receive is not identical to the last one, and that is deliberate rather than a flaw.
Single-barrel releases are normally reserved for a producer's top tier. Michter's does it at the entry level of the range, which tells you something about how they think about the rye.
Product Highlights
- Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
- Single barrel — every bottle from one cask
- 43% ABV, 700ml bottle
- Genuine bottle-to-bottle variation
- Start here if you want spice rather than sweetness
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Rye spice, citrus peel, a floral edge
- Palate: Peppery and bright up front, then caramel underneath softening it
- Finish: Dry, clean, spice lingering
How to Serve
This is the cocktail bottle of the four. A Manhattan made with it is a different drink from one made with a soft, sweet rye. Neat, it rewards a little water to open up the floral notes.
Perfect For
- Manhattans, Sazeracs and stirred cocktails
- Drinkers who find bourbon too sweet
- Sipping neat with a few drops of water
- Collectors — if you find a barrel you like, buy a second bottle
Food Pairing
- Grilled and smoked meats.
- Dark chocolate.
- Spiced desserts and cinnamon pastries.
- Aged cheeses.
Questions
Will every bottle taste the same?
No, and that is the point of single-barrel bottling. Variation between barrels is small but real.
Is it too spicy for a beginner?
Less than most ryes. There is enough caramel underneath to keep the pepper in check, which makes it a reasonable first rye.
