Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Rye

Incredible smooth and think is one of the the best rye's I've had and really enjoyed it. Loved spice and mild heat. Will keep on hand and as always had it neat.

3.0 stars - Good; 750 ml This is my fifth bottle of this whiskey. It will be my last Michters for a while. Aroma is fantastic, classic Michter’s toasted marshmallow and gentle oak. Their superior wood management is in full display. There are some mild aromas from the rye, more honeysuckle and less mint than prior bottles. Taste continues the trend in these bottles of getting thinner and more mild. It is sweet and pleasant. But I am missing the rye, garden herbs, mint, and full mouth feel. They should seriously consider boosting this to 50% ABV if this is how the new distillate will be from here on out.

Smooth, syrupy butterscotch taste with subtle rye, slightly spicy finish

Vanilla, spice and high rye initial taste. Overall, the finish is delicious but don’t put it on ice. It ruins it when you add ice.

More subtle rye character than others, but still packs a great spice and herbal palate and finish. Smells of chocolate, mint and cinnamon on the nose. Round and full bodied. I might prefer other ryes for cocktails, but this is a fantastic sipper.
