Facing an abundance of grains, Shenk purchased a still and embarked on distilling surplus grains into whiskey, laying the foundation for Michter's, the United States' inaugural distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProhibition in 1919 shuttered Michter's and numerous other distilleries. However, in the early 1990s, Joseph J. Magliocco and Richard Newman united to resurrect the brand, striving to craft top-tier whiskey reminiscent of Michter's origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichter's US*1 Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is meticulously created from a mash predominantly comprised of plump rye grains. These grains are sheared to maximize flavor infusion during fermentation. Following fermentation, they undergo distillation in copper-pot stills and are aged in charred American oak barrels. Maturation in a heat-cycled warehouse allows the whiskey and wood to intermingle, imparting notes of marmalade and light caramel to the rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichter's President Joseph J. Magliocco expressed, \"Whenever we would sample right out of the US\u003cem\u003e1 Rye barrels, we loved the whiskey. We thought that our loyal US\u003c\/em\u003e1 Single Barrel Rye customers would enjoy tasting some at barrel strength.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichter's Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is the limited overproof iteration of Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey, with proof slightly varying by barrel but typically ranging between 108 and 110.8 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis whiskey boasts a robust aroma featuring butterscotch, golden raisins, and vanilla. Its palate delivers morning toast, maple syrup, and fresh fruit, with a spicy finish leaving hints of mint, cinnamon, and honey lingering on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michter’s","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44082004623581,"sku":"MICH-BARR-STRE-LIMI-750","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/8395\/2825\/files\/8198841237725_michter-s-barrel-strength-rye-limited-release-750m.jpg?v=1782260741","url":"https:\/\/topbourbon.com\/products\/michters-barrel-strength-rye-limited-release-750ml","provider":"Top Bourbon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
