Fresh from Michter’s is a Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey.  This is the barrel strength version of their widely available 84.8 proof US*1 Single Barrel Rye.  Each barrel differs slightly in taste and proof, ranging from 108 proof to 113 proof.  (Note:  The Michter’s team sent me a sample bottle for review.)  My sample bottle comes in at a hearty 110.2 proof.  There’s no age statement here, but we do know that the barrel entry proof was 103.  Well, how is it?
