- Description
- Michter's Barrel Strength Rye is filled at a deliberately lower proof than industry standard, allowing for deeper wood integration and richer texture before bottling at natural cask strength around 103 proof. This Kentucky rye demonstrates the distillery's philosophy that restrained entry proof yields smoother, more complex spiced grain character despite higher production costs.
