DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Rye: One Barrel, Low Proof, On Purpose
Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Rye is bottled from a single hand selected charred white oak barrel, not a blend, at 84.8 proof (42.4% ABV). Distilled in Louisville to the Michter's pre Revolutionary War quality standards dating to 1753. Mashbill is 53% rye, 33% corn, 14% malted barley, aged four years, then mellowed by Michter's signature filtration.
Rye is America's oldest whiskey style, and Michter's shears the rye grain before mashing to pull more flavor out of it. The 53% rye mashbill is a true rye rather than a barely legal 51%, and the corn keeps it from going austere.
About the proof. 84.8 is low by current standards and that will put some people off. It should not. What you get instead is a whiskey where the grain and the barrel are legible rather than buried under alcohol heat, and it is a genuinely rare thing: almost nobody bottles a single barrel rye at this proof, because the category has gone all in on barrel strength. If you have been drinking 115 proof ryes and your palate is tired, this is the reset.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Caramel, cherry and green apple over rye spice and oak.
- Palate: Light and buttery. Baking spice, caramel and cinnamon buns with a delicate citrus edge.
- Finish: Dry from the start, then gingerbread, oak and leather with soft pepper hanging on.
How to Enjoy
- Neat: at 84.8 proof it is ready as poured. No water needed.
- Manhattan or Sazerac: Michter's says neat or cocktails and they mean it. The 53% rye carries a stirred drink without fighting the vermouth.
- Beside a barrel strength rye: the contrast shows exactly what proof does and does not add.
- Gift idea: for someone who likes rye but does not want to be hit over the head with it.
