Michters Number 1, Straight Rye

Tasting Notes

Michter’s US★1 Kentucky Straight Rye is a highly acclaimed, single-barrel American whiskey renowned for its balanced, approachable profile and meticulous production. Unlike many entry-level ryes that are blended from multiple casks, every bottle of Michter’s US★1 Rye is drawn from a single, specific barrel, meaning subtle variations exist from batch to batch while maintaining a core benchmark of quality.

Smooth, clean, and exceptionally balanced. It tempers traditional rye pepper and baking spices (clove, ginger) with rich sweet elements like toffee, caramel, and buttered corn.
