Michter's Distillery 10 Year Old Single Barrel Straight Rye 750mL Nose: Roasted almonds and candied

Nose: Roasted almonds and candied citrus fruit

The palate is clean

Initially toasted hazelnut then rich fruits- baked apples & dates

it leaves a very light coating on the glass which belies its viscosity

this is not one to be missed

Michter's Distillery 10 Year Old Single Barrel Straight Rye 750mL Nose: Roasted almonds and candiedMichter's Distillery 10 Year Old Rye is the brainchild of master distiller Willie Pratt. Pratt, a maturation perfectionist with over forty years of distilling experience, is known as "Dr. No"since he often refuses to bottle aging barrels of whiskey. According to Pratt, whiskey that is aged for over a decade hits a "fork in the road,"and can either become incredible or unpalatable. "One of the barrels we sampled was unbelievably woody," Magliocco says.
