Michter’s Debuts 2022 Release Of US*1 Barrel Strength Rye

Michter’s has unveiled the 2022 release of its US*1 Barrel Strength Rye. The whiskey will be sent to distributors and importers this month.

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. Last year’s batch had an average proof of 110.3.

“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 Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson 

“At Michter’s, we’ve put out some terrific Barrel Strength Rye over the years,” said Master Distiller Dan McKee. “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.

In October, Michter’s unveiled the 2021 edition of its 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon, its first batch of the two decade old whiskey since 2019.

Last June, Master Distiller Dan McKee approved the 2021 release of Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye. The next edition is expected at some point this summer.
