- Description
- Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye is bottled at natural cask strength (55.1% ABV) from barrels initially filled at the lower-than-standard 103 proof, a philosophy Michter's believes creates smoother, richer whiskey despite higher production costs. The result is a refined, full-bodied rye with excellent texture and complexity that rewards careful study. Exceptional neat or as the foundation of a whiskey cocktail of genuine character.
