Rye is America's oldest whisky variety and this is a great example. Spice with peppery notes, citrus, butterscotch and warm oak flavours on the palate. Michter's are known for their quality with each bottle coming from a single cask.
The Producer
Michter's Distillery, one of the USA's oldest, has a rich history dating back to 1753. Founded by John Shenk in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, the distillery initially bore the name Shenk's. Over the centuries, it changed hands and names multiple times, finally becoming Michter's. Despite closure of the Pennsylvania distillery in 1989, the Michter's name was revived in the later 1990s and operations moved to Louisville, Kentucky. Today, Michter's is turning out some seriously impressive whiskeys, honouring its past while embracing modern techniques. The result? A distillery that seamlessly blends history with contemporary craftsmanship. Simple, understated, and undeniably captivating.
