Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Rye (2019 Release)

Delicious and pretty smooth considering the proof

Smooth. Spicy. Very drinkable. Beautiful color.

Fruit and spice aroma. Vanilla and oak with honey notes, especially in the long, warming finish. Very good.

one if the finest eyes I've had. buttery, toasty, strong.

This stuff is amazing. The mouthfeel is so silky...the viscosity of maple syrup. the finish goes on for days. there were two more bottles on the shelf....I'm going to get them...now.

111.8 proof. Smells like a room full of barrels. Sharp on the tongue, a cola caramel note mid palate, a rush of spices and slight bitterness at the end. 6/2/19

Neat. Candy quality to the nose. Vanilla frosting. Mint. Pepper and rye spice. Super thick, syrupy texture. Almost reminds me of a maple syrup that has hardened a bit and has crystals of sugar throughout. Brown sugar and maybe cinnamon initially. Gives way to the same flavors from the nose - vanilla, hint of mind, pepper and rye spice. Quite delightful. Did a comparison to the SiB too. The SiB is very light in terms of the flavor notes by comparison. The Barrel Strength is a step up in complexity.
