- Description
- Michter's 2023 Barrel Strength Toasted Barrel Finish Rye was initially matured in an original charred barrel before transferring to a toasted (non-charred) barrel for a 24-month finish, creating a dual-cask profile at 54.6% ABV. The transition from charred to toasted oak imparts layered wood influence—initial char and vanilla giving way to toasted oak's softer, more refined sweetness. The high proof brings intensity and structure while the toasted finish adds complexity and texture. This expression suits those seeking technical depth and the interplay between different oak treatments.
