Michter's Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Sharp and spicy on the nose, with slowly emerging notes of grape jelly, wild strawberries, earthiness, oak, and new leather. Jammy and fruity on a palate that is lightly spiced and offers cinnamon-covered baked apples, gingersnaps, brown sugar, coffee, and cracked pepper. A mid-length finish completes the ride with spicy notes of chicory, camp coffee, dark chocolate, more cinnamon, and light pecan nuttiness. Tasty and pleasurable—smooth and pronounced flavors.” - 91 PTS, WHISKY ADVOCATE (03/2022)
