Michter’s continues its legacy of innovation with the 2025 release of its US★1 Barrel Strength Rye, an ultra-premium Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey bottled from single barrels at cask strength. This expression is known for its refined balance and bold depth, enhanced by Michter’s decision to barrel the rye distillate at a lower entry proof of 103—well below the industry standard. While more costly, this choice yields a whiskey of exceptional smoothness and layered complexity.
