Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey – 750 mL

Overview
Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Rye is one of the distillery’s most prestigious and limited-production expressions. Distilled and bottled in Kentucky, each bottle comes from an individually selected barrel matured for at least 10 years in fire-charred new American white oak. Michter’s notes that barrels selected for this expression are often significantly older than the stated age, with only barrels demonstrating exceptional maturity and balance chosen for release. Bottled at 92.8 proof, this rye combines mature oak with rich vanilla, toffee, toasted nuts, citrus, cinnamon, and classic peppery rye spice.
