Winemaking notes
This Rye Whiskey is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to maximize the extraction of flavor. Fire-charred, new American white oak barrels are used. Every bottle comes from a single barrel – a unique attribute reflecting the extraordinary commitment to offering Kentucky Straight Rye whiskey. By law, all Rye Whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51 percent rye and distilled to no more than 160 U.S. proof (80% abv). A 'Straight' Rye designation refers to a Rye aged for at least two years and has not been blended with other spirits.
Viticultural notes
Michter's has three locations in Kentucky - a 78,000 square foot distillery in the Shively section of Louisville, the architecturally significant Fort Nelson Building on Louisville's Museum Row and 145 acres of farm land in Springfield.
Tasting notes
Sweet aroma, full of caramel, vanilla and a slight floral touch. The bite comes first (and lingers awhile), followed by vanilla, caramel, coconut flavors. Spice with peppery notes, citrus, butterscotch and oak on the finish.
Pairing notes
Lovely on its own, on the rocks or in a classic cocktail such as a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.
