Renowned for rye - America's oldest whiskey variety - since the earliest days of Michter's history, the production of Michter's USx1 Kentucky Straight Rye has always been taken extremely seriously. Made from select American rye grain that is sheared to maximise the extraction of flavour from the grain. Ideal neat or in cocktails, every bottle comes from a single barrel - a unique attribute reflecting their extraordinary commitment to offering the absolute highest quality at every level of the Michter's range.
On that note of commitment, Michter's has tailor-made their USx1 Straight Rye whiskey with a unique 43.4% ABV to comply with South Africa's local legislation, being a minimum of 43% ABV. Why 43.4%? Well, that's exactly where Michter's thinks the tasting profile needs to be!
The USx1 expressions, so named to honour Michter's heritage harkening back to America's first whiskey company, consist of some of the finest single barrel and truly small batch whiskeys available. Distilled to Master Distiller Dan McKee's exacting specifications, no USx1 whiskey is ever released until Dan and the Michter's tasting panel deems it ready.
Profile: Spice with peppery notes, citrus, butterscotch, oak.
