Louisville, Ky. (ots/PRNewswire) – For the first time since becoming the first American whiskey to be named “World’s Most Admired Whiskey,” Michter’s will release its highly acclaimed 10-year-old Kentucky Straight Rye. It is a single barrel product bottled from over ten year old stocks selected by Michter’s production team.
“For over 20 years, we at Michter’s have been working hard to show that American rye can be a world-class spirit. Along with our US*1 Rye, our 10 Year Rye has paved the way for us. The first rye from Kentucky Michter’s was our 10 Year Rye,” said Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco.
Unlike many rye whiskeys made in Indiana, Canada and elsewhere, Michter’s 10 Year Rye bears the hallmarks of its home state and is a quintessential Kentucky-style rye whiskey.” Dan McKee, Master Distiller at Michter’s, said, “When I came to “After coming to Michter’s, I developed a greater appreciation for Kentucky-style rye, with its additional flavor nuances that come from using more corn and more malted barley in a majority rye mashbill.”
The barrels released for this 2024 bottling were approved by Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. Wilson noted: “What impresses me about the 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye is its elegance and complexity without being dominated by spice. The spices are beautifully integrated with floral notes, fruits, honey, citrus and chocolate that are a… creating a wonderfully balanced experience that is perfect for a summer evening.”
Michter’s 10 Year Rye is a 92.8 proof (46.4 percent alcohol by volume) spirit and has a suggested retail price of $200 in the United States. The Louisville-based distillery plans to make this version available in limited quantities to its export markets as well.
Michter’s has a rich and long heritage of traditional American whiskeys of uncompromising quality. Michter’s highly acclaimed portfolio includes Bourbon, Rye, Sour Mash Whiskey and American Whiskey, with each limited-edition product aged to its peak maturity. At the end of October 2023, whiskey history was made as the UK-based publication Drinks International announced the results of a survey by an academy of independent global whiskey experts, journalists, bartenders and drinks buyers from more than 20 countries.
