Michter's Barrel Strength Limited Release Rye Whiskey 55.3% 700ml

First offered in May 2015, this was the second limited edition from Michter's and one of a few in the range to be labelled as a 'barrel strength' release and received huge praise including 99 points from The Tasting Panel. The whiskey is matured in flame-charred new American oak barrels, typically yielding ABVs between 54-56%. Very small allocation.

Bright brassy-amber with considerable legs. A sensational rye bouquet. Densely packed with fruit and grain; poached apple, clove and cinnamon meld with peppery rye and mint freshness. Enormous, crunchy rye in the mouth with a surging, oily, peppery, mildly bittersweet attack that hints at apple pie, ryvita biscuit and peppermint. Beautifully integrated. Follows through with late barrel sweetness and the mid palate stage repeating in the aftertaste. A robust and compelling statement whiskey that's unmissable for fans of the genre.
