Michter’s still sources their rye from an undisclosed distillery. For their standard rye product, Michter’s US*1 Single Barrel Rye, they release it as a single barrel to help it stand out in the market. On paper there isn’t a lot that makes Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye stand out on its own. It’s a limited release, but no extra information on its curation or story is given to help sell it. Its proof often hovers around 115 which is where many barrel proof ryes land nowadays.
Despite this proof point, it isn’t until you add up that this is a single barrel, barrel strength rye - a subset of rye whiskey that isn’t overly common in the marketplace. While more craft distilleries are offering single barrel, barrel strength ryes, that number remains low and almost nonexistent for national brands.
As such, Michter’s allows their barrel proof rye to speak for itself. Like its lower proof brethren, being a single barrel helps add a lot of extra character to it. Despite its sourced origins and many other ryes in a similar proof range, its flavor profile helps it stand out where it ultimately counts. Its nose is uncharacteristically forceful, its palate much darker flavored than most ryes, and its finish much hotter than you’d expect. Taken together, the rye does a great job being its own thing despite being sourced from a company we’re all probably familiar with if it were ever to be revealed. The palate alone with its burnt orange peel, molasses, dry oak, and toasted rye spice may not be revolutionary, but it's enough to be quite memorable and unique.
