Overview

More Info

Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye is made by taking fully matured Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Rye at barrel strength and finishing it in a secondary barrel. These finishing barrels are made from 24 month air-dried staves. The barrels were toasted, not charred. As the rye whiskey is bottled at cask strength, the proof will vary but the average proof for the 2020 release is 109.2. A limited amount of bottles will be released.
Tasting notes

Appearance: This was a tough one. I would put this one at a mid-point between a deep red and brown. In the glass there were long slow legs and the appearance of some solid viscosity.

Nose: This is a big whiskey, starting with a lot of heat. Once you settle into the experience, one can pick up notes of bold rye spice mixed with a touch of maple sweetness. It took a while to identify, but eventually picked up a touch of English Breakfast tea in the background.

Palate: Relative to the nose, found this rye to be pretty simple. Spicy, with a touch of caramel of oak and some nuttiness characteristic of the toasted barrel finishes. There’s a lingering finish, possibly with some roasted marshmellow at the very end.
