The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
This month, Louisville based Michter’s Distillery will begin shipping the 2020 release of its 10 Year Single Barrel Rye.
“This will be the only release of our 10 Year Rye this year because we continue to be in a position where we need to allocate our whiskeys,” commented Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco. “I am very grateful to our team for the terrific job they have been doing.” While Michter’s Fort Nelson Distillery has been shut since mid-March, Michter’s Shively Distillery has continued to distill and bottle.
“I just love Kentucky style rye because it has not only great spice, but also the richness and the balance that comes from having a fair amount of corn and malted barley in the mashbill. And I think the 2020 release of our 10 Year Rye is an outstanding example of Kentucky style rye,” said Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee.
“There is nothing quite like really good rye distillate that’s been aged with thoughtful care for over a decade in a barrel that was toasted and then charred and in a warehouse that has been heat cycled to produce a deep, rich flavor profile perfect for sipping,” commented Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.
The suggested U.S. retail price per 750ml bottle of Michter’s 10 Year Rye is $160.
