Michter’s Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey

IMG_0640According to the label, this is held to their pre-Revolutionary War quality standards.  I’m not so sure about that.  On the other hand, it is a single barrel straight rye (no percentages given), aged for 3 years in new charred oak barrels, and filtered.

It’s straw to honey in color.  The nose is clean, big, round, mellow, and very inviting.  It glides very smoothly on the palate, it tastes like it was made to be a crowd pleaser.  Slight medicinal aftertaste.  Not bad, but rather boring.
