Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye

This is so good. Love it love it. Not much on the nose. Mostly ethanol. The palate is caramel, viscous, with not over pouring rye notes. So good. This is an easy buy at sub 100 bucks.

strong, spicy, warm and smooth. delicious

2020 Edition Got lucky and a local store took care of me on this one and let me get it 75 out the door. Always drink with your local store owners! Nose - cherry's and pie crust. Light rye spice over caramel. Extremely inviting with apples and cherries and baking spice with a very nice oak overlay. Taste - I get some of those same fruits here, but I get a lot of pie crust filling with a heavy spicing. Cherries are certainly here and I love them. Rich creamy mouth feel. There's a touch of a waxy element. Finish is reasonably long. I'm not sure what I scored the 2019 nor which is better, but I'd go 3.0. Really like this one. If I scored the other one higher, it's a bit of subjectivity.

Nose- Caramel; rye spice; Swedish fish; anise Palate- Cinnamon red hots initially; spiced oak; leather Fish- Medium, spicy finish; rye spice; spiced oak Not my favorite pour in the world. Pretty simple although out. The highlight is a unique aroma of Swedish fish. Not much to say about this one, so here’s a list of ryes I like more than this that are cheaper: Old Forester Rye Elijah craig rye Whistle Pig 10 Sazerac (baby)
