About Ha Michters Us*1 Barrel Strength Rye
Michter's US1 Barrel Strength Rye is a bold, high-proof rye whiskey from CHATHAM IMPORTS INC, bottled at 54% ABV (108 proof) straight from the barrel without dilution, delivering intense, unfiltered flavors in a 750ml bottle priced at $90.00. What makes it special is its single-barrel selection, showcasing a forceful nose, darker palate than typical ryes, and a punchy, hotter finish that punches above its proof, with notes of burnt orange peel, robust oak, blackstrap molasses, vanilla, and rye spice. It's for seasoned whiskey enthusiasts who crave complexity and intensity in sipping rye, standing out in the category against milder, lower-proof ryes or even some sourced competitors by offering unique depth and character despite its origins. Compared to Michter's standard US1 Rye, this barrel strength version amplifies boldness and darkness, making it a premium choice for those seeking a robust, flavorful rye without added water.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose is uncharacteristically forceful with burnt orange peel, robust dry oak, and blackstrap molasses creating a dark, intense opening unlike most higher-proof ryes. Rich vanilla and toasted rye spice add balance and depth. Bold woodshop aromas and dark brown sugar further enhance its aromatic punch.
👅 Palate
Burnt orange peel, robust dry oak, and blackstrap molasses deliver a darker, more intense flavor profile than typical ryes, with light astringency and rich vanilla balancing the punchy mouthfeel. The whiskey asserts itself with precision, offering treacly viscosity and notes of nilla wafers, blackberry tea, and soft cinnamon. It's forceful yet complex, ideal for bourbon lovers transitioning to rye.
✨ Finish
Leather and dry oak dominate over gingerbread, melted caramel, and lingering molasses, carried by peppery rye spice and heightened heat. The potent, punchier-than-expected finish leaves a sticky, honeyed impression with subtle hibiscus and grenadine.
