Overview

Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey · Toasted Barrel Finish · 750ml

Michter’s Toasted Barrel Rye is a Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey finished in a custom toasted barrel, produced by Michter’s Distillery. After initial maturation in new charred American oak, the whiskey is transferred to a second barrel that has been specially toasted rather than charred. This finishing process enhances sweetness, texture, and complexity while preserving the spice-driven structure that defines rye whiskey.
