Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye (2020 Release)
Rye
Michter's // Kentucky, USA
RARE
Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye is made by taking fully matured Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Rye at barrel strength and finishing it in a secondary barrel. These finishing barrels are made from 24 month air-dried staves. The barrels were toasted, not charred.
As the rye whiskey is bottled at cask strength, the proof will vary but the average proof for the 2020 release is 109.2. A limited amount of bottles will be released in September 2020.

Tasting Notes
"This is an autumn sweater of a whiskey to wrap yourself up in on a chilly night. Toasty, sweet, and spicy cereal with vanilla frosting (reminiscent of Cinnamon Toast Crunch!) gets an added spice blast of Red Hot candies, tempered by fruit flavors of pear, golden apple, orange pekoe black tea, sarsaparilla, rosemary and thyme. Sure, the traditional way to sip whiskey is in a glass, but this one wouldn't be out of place in a favorite mug. It will make a delightful base for an Old Fashioned too. "
