Michters Barrel Strength Toasted Barrel Finish Rye Whiskey

53.7%ALC/VOL (107.4 PROOF)  Producer Notes   Following years of research on different barrel finishes for rye whiskey, we are proud to offer this release of our Michter’s US1 Toasted Barrel Rye. To make it we take our US1 Kentucky Straight Rye at barrel strength and then age it for an additional period in a second custom barrel. This second barrel is assembled from 24 month air-dried wood and then toasted to our specifications. The result is a unique rye whiskey that we take pride in offering to you. The average strength of the barrels in the September 2023 release is 108.9 proof.  Barrel: Fire-charred, new American white oak barrels Second Barrel: Toasted barrel made from 24 month air-dried wood A nose brimming with toffee, honey, black walnut and a hint of campfire gives way to a decadent taste experience featuring dark chocolate, salted caramel, cherry and mint with pronounced spice balanced by rounded oak on the finish.
