Description
Michter’s 10 Year Old Rye is one of the most hotly sought after items on the rye whiskey circuit that is still in semi-regular release.
Not much is known about this whiskey, beyond the basic statistics on the bottle: single barrel, 10 year old minimum, 92.4 proof (46.2 % abv).
Michter’s is secretive about their sourcing, and won’t even release mashbill information on products such as this.
Michter’s started up operation of its own still only last year, so it will be at least a couple of years before some of their in-house spirit appears in even their standard US*1 Rye Whiskey, and a decade or more before it reaches the 10 Year Old.
Please note this is limited to 1 bottle per customer.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Complex, with spice building followed by sweet candied fruits as an earthy note soon develops.
Palate: Well balanced, tonnes of rich dried fruit comes first, followed by more spice from the oak, finished off by an earthy, peppery dryness.
Finish: Rich, powerful and complex, with a hefty kick of warmth from spice.
