Michter’s introduced the discharge of its extremely acclaimed 10 12 months Kentucky Straight Rye.
“Rye whiskey has deep roots in American whiskey historical past,” mentioned Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco, in a press release. “It fell out of favor for a lot of the twentieth century when a lot of it was used as a blender in different whiskeys. The work of the bartenders within the on-premise neighborhood to point out how nice a great American rye is in cocktails was instrumental in bringing this distinctive whiskey class again.”
Michter’s releases whiskey in keeping with the flavour profile of particular barrels fairly than robotically upon their reaching a sure age, it notes. On account of this protocol, Michter’s whiskeys have typically been matured longer than the age assertion on the label, the corporate says. The barrels that comprise this launch have been deemed prepared by Michter’s Grasp Distiller Dan McKee and Michter’s Grasp of Maturation Andrea Wilson.
“One in every of Michter’s defining traits for our rye whiskey is the stability of the attractive baking spice with recent citrus and floral underpinned by notes of vanilla, caramel, chocolate and candy oak,” Wilson mentioned in a press release. “This Kentucky model rye differs from the kinds from Indiana and different elements of the U.S., and it reveals a refined class and concord of flavors.”
McKee added: “As somebody who enjoys rye, I used to be excited to style the barrels for this 12 months’s launch. The flavour profile is outstanding.”
A 92.8 proof (46.4% ABV) spirit, Michter’s 10 12 months Rye single barrel whiskey is accessible to buy nationwide for a steered retail value of $210 a bottle.
