Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Rye

Notes of pepper fill my nose, with notes of melon and honey suckle and a spicy finish of rye. Definitely a whiskey worth to add to your collection.

One of the most approachable ryes I’ve had to date. If you are trying to introduce someone to the world of rye, this is a great place to start. Nose: Slight ethanol, mint and honey Palate: Watery start that thickens up to a muted rye spice with a fair amount of oak and some mint. Nothing too strong in this one. Finish: The rye spice lingers and the oak becomes more pronounced. Feels like an 80 proof throughout. I always have a bottle of this around for friends who are afraid of rye.

Nose: Oak and mint are dominant. Leather looms as well. Palate: Light. Sweet for a Rye. In fact, if I had tasted blind I would have swore it was a wheater. Nothing bad about it, but also nothing outstanding. Finish: Overall it has a medium finish, however the KY hug remains for a bit. Overall, this would make a fine Fall whisky. Perfect for sipping next to a campfire. Leaves a warm fuzzy feeling which helps make up for the lack of a lot of flavor.
