About this bottle
Every release of Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye leaves Kentucky as a single-barrel straight rye whiskey, bottled at the strength it came out of the wood with no water added — so the proof shifts from barrel to barrel and release to release. Michter's ages the whiskey in fire-charred new American white oak, and the pour shows it: butterscotch and cinnamon on the nose, warm toasty vanilla and caramel across the palate, and a dry, oaky spice on the finish. Releases arrive periodically in limited quantities and move fast once they land on shelves, so this one won't be around long once it's poured through.
How to drink Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye
Give it a few minutes of air before the first sip — barrel strength needs room to open up. Neat is the default, but a single large cube tames it fast if the proof on this particular barrel runs hot.

Give it a few minutes of air first, then take it neat; a single large ice cube works if the proof on your bottle runs hot.
Why does the proof vary between Michter's Barrel Strength Rye releases?
Each release is a single barrel bottled at whatever strength it came out of the wood, with no water added, so proof shifts naturally from barrel to barrel.
