Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye (2017 Release)

The toasted finish softens and sweetens what would otherwise be a pretty harsh finish. Good stuff

Bought a pour of this over a sushi dinner this evening. I have no idea why this was so much in demand, close to $150 /bottle in price, and so damn hard to find. There’s dozens of others at a fraction of the price and much better. This has aromas of toasted rye bread with butter, and taste of dill ( MGP?), charred oak, and mint. Do yourself a favor—-save about $100/bottle and instead buy Whip Saw rye. This one simply lacks the complexity and depth for something that’s close to $150. Drinks more like a $30.
