Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye (2022)

Michter’s has announced the release of its 2022 US*1 Barrel Strength Rye. As it was for the previous, version (here for more information) the whiskey is bottled cask strength, and being a single barrel means that the ABV can slightly differ from barrel to barrel. The average for the March 2022 expression is around 111.6 (55,8%).

“Our barrel strength whiskey is always stunning, and this release continues to deliver a bold experience with layers of sweetness and spice along with gentle oak maturity,” explained Wilson. McKee commented: “At Michter’s, we’ve put out some terrific Barrel Strength Rye over the years. Personally, I love this 2022 release for its richness, complexity, and depth. It’s a perfect representation of our Michter’s house style.” “Dan and Andrea are our ultimate gatekeepers,” added Michter’s president Joseph J. Magliocco. “They’ve continued the tradition set by our late master distiller Willie Pratt and our master distiller Emerita Pam Heilmann of not releasing something unless they feel the whiskey is just right.”

The Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye (2022) is sold in 750 ml bottles and the SRP in the US is $ 100.
