Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye is a single barrel product, and the average

proof of the barrels in this March 2022 release is 111.6 proof. "Our barrel

strength whiskey is always stunning, and this release continues to deliver a

bold experience with layers of sweetness and spice along with gentle oak

maturity," observed Wilson.

McKee commented, "At Michter's, we've put out some terrific Barrel Strength Rye

over the years. Personally, I love this 2022 release for its richness,

complexity and depth. It's a perfect representation of our Michter's house

style."

"Dan and Andrea are our ultimate gatekeepers," stated Michter's President

Joseph J. Magliocco. "They've continued the tradition set by our late Master

Distiller Willie Pratt and our Master Distiller Emerita Pam Heilmann of not

releasing something unless they feel the whiskey is just right."

The suggested retail price in the United States is $100 for a 750ml bottle of

Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye.
