What is this whiskey?
Michter’s, one of Kentucky’s most respected heritage whiskey producers, is known for small-batch releases that emphasize quality and balance over volume. The Limited Release Barrel Strength Rye is a straight rye whiskey bottled at cask strength, without dilution. Each barrel is hand-selected and bottled individually, meaning proof varies from bottle to bottle. The whiskey is aged in fire-charred new American oak barrels, producing intensity, spice, and depth.

Why get this whiskey?
