History
Michter's 10 Year Rye 2018 is created with tradition in mind at the Michter's Distillery in Kentucky, Louisville. It was created in pursuit of Michter’s goal of making the greatest American whiskey. In the 18th century, a Swiss Mennonite farmer by the name of John Shenk settled his family near Pennsylvania's Blue Mountain Valley. After a few years of hard work and long hours, Shenk was harvesting more grains than he could sell at the local market. As a result, Shenk purchased a still and began distilling the excess grains he harvested into whiskey. His distillery, which was eventually named Michter's, became the United States' first distilling company. After years of experimenting with different barrel finishes, Michter's perfected a process that involves aging the whiskey for an extended period in a second custom barrel made from 24-month air-dried wood, which is then toasted to enhance its flavor profile. This attention to detail results in a highly flavorful bourbon, while Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is made from a mash that is primarily fresh, plump rye grains. Once harvested, the grains are sheared to infuse more flavor during fermentation, distilled through a copper-pot still, and matured in charred American oak barrels. The barrels rest in a heat-cycled warehouse, allowing the whiskey to interact with the wood, contributing rich notes of marmalade and light caramel to the final product.
