Michter's US1 Kentucky Straight Rye
Regular price
$119.00
Michter’s US*1 Straight Rye is a standout American whiskey that showcases the bold, spicy character of Kentucky rye, crafted with exceptional care and precision. Made from a select rye grain mashbill and aged in fire-charred new American oak barrels, this small-batch rye is bottled at a balanced 42.4% ABV (84.8 proof)—offering a smooth yet flavourful experience that’s accessible to both newcomers and seasoned rye fans.
On the nose, it delivers inviting aromas of cinnamon, clove, butterscotch, and citrus peel. The palate opens with classic rye spice—black pepper, nutmeg, and herbal heat—followed by softer notes of toffee, caramel, vanilla, and a hint of mint. The mouthfeel is smooth and warming, with excellent structure and just enough bite to remind you it’s a true rye. The finish is clean, dry, and lingering, with spice and oak trailing pleasantly.
What makes Michter’s US1 Rye* so good is its combination of craftsmanship, balance, and depth. Unlike many rye whiskies that lean aggressively into spice, Michter’s delivers complexity with elegance. It’s superb neat, shines in a Manhattan, and has become a favourite among bartenders for its versatility. It’s not just a great rye—it’s one of the best value premium ryes on the market.
