Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Rye

Sweet rye bread nose. Light chocolate and Rye on the palette. Just delicious

Spicy, oak, and rich. A over average bottle for the price

Nice rich color out of the bottle Nose Very full and rich. Rye spice forefront. Baked cinnamon pear and vanilla sweetness. On returning to it, I get some sour cherries and caramel as well. Black pepper. Palate Oak tannins and spice on the hard palate. Extra dark chocolate and some bitter cherry flavor. The rye comes through nicely. The spice mellows over consecutive sips but maintains a constant presence. As this occurs, a subtle sweetness takes hold. Finish Long and full. Residual tannins and dark chocolate bitterness at the back of my tongue, lasting well into the next sip. A fantastic buy in my mind. One of my favorite ryes to sip. I am a fan of most of Michter's offerings!

Nose: Strong honey, dark chocolate, and vanilla with hints of cinnamon, pepper, and coconut Palate: Initial caramel and butterscotch. This is followed by an abrupt peppery, spicy surge, especially on the sides and tip of the tongue. Then comes a delicious tanniny oaky blast. So much going on here. Finish: Medium to long with notes of bitter dark chocolate, black pepper and chili pepper. This is a fantastic bottle from Michter's. It is a wonderful blend of flavours on the palate and more than worth the price point.

Nice and spicy, lingering.
