Michters Barrel Stregnth Rye Whiskey 700mL 54% ABV

Michters Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey is a part of American history. In the 18th century, a Swiss Mennonite farmer by the name of John Shenk settled his family near Pennsylvania’s Blue Mountain Valley. Within a few years, Shenk was harvesting more grains that he could sell, and so he began distilling the excess grains into whiskey. Shenk’s distillery, which was eventually named Michter’s, became the United States’ first distilling company. Just two decades after Shenk opened the doors to his distillery, General George Washington began purchasing Michter’s Whiskey in order to fortify his men as they camped through a long and brutal winter at Valley Forge. Michter’s, as the saying goes, was the whiskey that warmed the American Revolution. Prohibition started in the USA in 1919 and this forced Michter’s, along with nearly every other distillery in the United States, to close. In the early 1990’s the distillery reopened with the goal to show that whiskey made in the United States could be the equal of great whiskey made anywhere in the world. Since the 1990's, the Michter's team has been doing pioneering work to re-establish the high quality American Rye whiskey category. The May 2015 inaugural release of Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye marks yet another milestone in that quest. For maturation, the Rye distillate is entered into the barrel at 103 proof, rather than a more industry standard higher proof. Barrel entry at a lower proof of 103 rather than a higher proof costs Michter's more money in terms of barrels and warehousing, but we believe it yields a richer, smoother, more full-bodied whiskey after proper maturation. A single barrel product, each barrel of Michters Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Rye is bottled at its particular alcohol level at the time of bottling. The majority of barrels in the inaugural release range from 108 to 110.8 proof. To savor it is a unique experience for anyone who enjoys Rye whiskey.
