Renowned for rye – America’s oldest whiskey variety – since the earliest days of our history, we take the production of Michter’s US 1 Rye extremely seriously. Our Michter’s US 1 Rye is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to maximize the extraction of flavor from the grain. Ideal neat or in cocktails, every bottle of Michter’s US 1 Rye comes from a single barrel – a unique attribute reflecting our extraordinary commitment to offering Kentucky Straight Rye whiskey of the absolute highest quality at every level of the Michter’s range.
Tasting Notes: Spice with peppery notes, citrus, butterscotch, oak.
The sweet coconut-caramel nose sways you in: a brass-rail aroma that wins you over at first sniff. And on the palate, a gentle soaking of the tongue from this 84.8-proof spirit is like having a cinnamon-covered
butterscotch candy melt to reveal a red pepper core. The heat quickly lifts and the notes of summer peach and nectar of apricot are there hiding in the background, only to appear with each revered sip.

Crazy-sweet aroma, full of caramel, vanilla and a slight floral touch. The bite comes first (and lingers awhile), followed by vanilla, caramel, coconut flavors. It mellows considerably with ice, and becomes quite likeable, drinkable and mild.
