Michters 10 Year Single Barrel (2017 Release) Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: There is a citrusy note present from the rye, which when crossed with the oak, emerges as candied orange peel and freshly-baked angels food cake. The subtle smoky spiciness reads more like quince or bruleed banana peel than black pepper.

Palate: Whereas the nose is inviting and silky smooth, the first taste clobbers you both with a dry woodiness and a complexity of layered alcohol and earth tones molded in to a hefty, luxurious dram with a thick-but-not-sweet mouthfeel. Deeper analysis pulls out a tannic note of singed hay, a slight ester profile with hints of tropical fruit,.

Finish: A wood-laced finish in each sip that can best be described as beefy and burly.
