10 Year Old Rye

About

Michter's 10 Year Old Rye stands as a flagship expression of this storied Kentucky whiskey brand, renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship and consistency. Carefully aged in new, charred American oak barrels, this single barrel rye showcases the distinctive character that has earned Michter's its reputation for excellence. The mash bill of rye, corn, and barley creates a sophisticated foundation that balances spice with subtle sweetness. On the nose, expect a warm and inviting aroma of caramel, rich brown sugar, and fresh mint, followed by the characteristic rye spice and hints of leather. The palate delivers dark caramel, charred oak, and rye spice, complemented by subtle notes of dark chocolate with a light bitterness. The finish is full and oaky, with the new charred oak making its substantial presence felt throughout. This rye excels in classic cocktails like the Manhattan or Sazerac, though its polished profile equally rewards neat or on-the-rocks enjoyment.
