Description

Michter's Single Barrel Rye 25 Year Old 117.3 Proof NV


Barrel #86, bottle #60 of 150, good level


Beginning in the late 1990s, the spirits importer Joe Magliocco and his team at Michter’s, a brand he had resurrected a few years earlier, began buying up old stocks of bourbon and rye from distilleries around Kentucky. They bottled them first at 10 years old, then later at 20 and 25 years. The first 25-year-old rye release, including this bottle, appeared in 2008, and quickly set the standard for what great old rye should taste like. At the time Michter’s contracted with Willett to bottle for them, though eventually it did most of the bottling at its own facility. Bottles like this one, from the earlier Willett years, are therefore all the more desired.
