Renowned for rye, Americas first whiskey, since our founding in 1753, we take production of every barrel of Michters Rye very seriously. Michter’s US-1 Rye is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to enable the saturation of more flavor during fermentation. It is then aged in a heated warehouse. This premium rye has hints of light spice, black pepper, marmalade and plum, spicy grain and light caramel.
