Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey (92.8 Proof)

99 points Meridith May (The Tasting Panel): “The 10-Year is in high demand with limited stock, but this impressive whiskey has a bright future once the brand expands its Springfield Farm to produce more estate-grown grain for distillation, according to Michter’s president Joseph J. Magliocca. With a nose of sassafras, ginger, and maple syrup-kissed apricot, the complex palate delivers sunflowers drenched in dripping honey and peach nectar. Resin resonates midway as notes of sandalwood pave a path through melted saffron butter.”

With very limited production, this rare 10 year old single barrel release continues the legacy of America’s first type of whiskey, rye, from Michter’s, America’s first whiskey distilling company. A complex rye with spicy full flavor highlighted by a cascade of walnut, mocha, honey, and wood toast. Distilled to 92.8 proof.
