Michter's Barrel Strength Straight Rye Whiskey 2022 Release 70cl

Michter's Barrel Strength Straight Rye Whiskey 2022

Crafted in extremely limited quantities, this bold Kentucky rye is a standout in the Michter’s portfolio. Bottled at barrel strength, Michter's Barrel Strength Straight Rye Whiskey 2022 is the result of a careful, time-honoured process.

Unlike most distilleries that enter barrels at 125 proof, Michter's enters at just 103 proof. This lower entry strength enhances the whiskey's rich, deep flavour by allowing better wood sugar integration and slower maturation, though it increases storage costs. The result is a powerful, yet remarkably smooth straight rye whiskey that delivers complexity and balance in every sip.

• The nose is rich with notes of toffee, dark cherries, and hints of baking spice
• Michter's Barrel Strength Straight Rye Whiskey delivers sweet cherry and caramel flavours with undertones of oak and pepper

Perfect when served neat or with a drop of water, this robust rye pairs wonderfully with chargrilled meats, pepper-crusted steak or rich, earthy cheeses like blue cheese or aged cheddar. For a sweet contrast, try it with dark chocolate truffles or pecan pie. Its spice and strength make it a memorable after-dinner dram or an upscale cocktail base.
