Michters U.S. Number 1 Rye Whiskey

Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is a Kentucky straight rye made by Michter's Distillery in Louisville. Each bottle comes from a single barrel, and every batch must be approved by the Master Distiller and the Michter's tasting panel before release. It is bottled at 84.8 proof (42.4% ABV).

The whiskey is matured in fire-charred, new American white oak barrels. Michter's uses a lower barrel entry proof, allowing the whiskey to draw more flavour from the wood during ageing. The result is a clean, balanced rye with peppery spice, bright citrus, sweet butterscotch and oak, leading to a dry, spicy finish. Versatile and approachable, it shines both neat and in classic cocktails such as a Manhattan or Sazerac.
