This limited edition rye is the barrel strength version of the Michter's single barrel rye. It ranges between 108 - 110.8 proof (the proof for this review is at 110.2). The idea behind it is to release a rye that gives loyal customers a longer taste of what is sampled straight from the barrel.

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"For fans of hot, spicy rye, this is a true cracker. Fiery hot cinnamon, clove, allspice, cedar, pine and nutmeg rush right to the front, while sticky sweet caramel, vanilla, banana and red apple try to catch up. It's quite thick and rich, and likes a big ice cube not only to soften the heat, but also mesh the flavors together."
