Michter’s will ship its first and only 2022 bottling of 10 Year Rye this July even as it holds back 10 Year Bourbon until 2023. “It may be the only release we do of a 10 Year whiskey this year, but it’s a really special one,” said Joseph J. Magliocco. “At Michter’s it’s about never compromising on quality rather than maximizing sales.” The suggested U.S. retail price per 750ml bottle of Michter’s 10 Year Rye is $185.
Michter’s 10 Year Rye is a single barrel product. It is a Kentucky style rye made from a fair amount of corn and barley to give balance and added complexity to the spice of its rye grain. “This year’s Michter’s 10 Year Rye continues to provide a consistent, rich and complex experience with beautiful spice and citrus surrounded by decadent chocolate, caramel and fruit. It is the exceptional balance of sweet and spice with a subtle hint of oak maturity that makes Michter’s so special to those who appreciate a Kentucky style rye.” observed Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.
Michter’s has a rich and long legacy of offering traditional American whiskeys of exceptional quality. With each of its limited production offerings aged to its peak maturity, Michter’s highly acclaimed portfolio includes rye, bourbon, sour mash whiskey, and American whiskey. Currently all types of Michter’s are being allocated because demand exceeds supply.
