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.

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.
