In the heart of Kentucky, surrounded by white oak barrels and centuries-old traditions, lies Michter’s, a distillery that embodies the heritage and excellence of American whiskey. Its origins reportedly date back to 1753 in Pennsylvania, making it one of the oldest distilling traditions in the United States. After a long period of closure and near obscurity, Michter’s was revived in the 1990s by passionate visionaries who blended respect for tradition with modern innovation.
The Michter’s 10 Years Old Straight Rye (2023 Release) is a rye whiskey aged in a single charred American white oak barrel for at least 10 years before being bottled at 46.4% ABV (92.8 proof), at its natural color.

Colore: Ambra calda.
Color: Warm amber.
Aroma: Opens with creamy notes of crème brûlée, followed by a mix of sweet and savory baking spices. Rye pepper, dark honey, and seasoned oak are well balanced by fruity hints of black cherry, grilled pineapple, and orange zest, along with earthier tones of pipe tobacco.
Palate: Buttery texture, revealing from the start flavors of toffee, sweet vanilla, and orange peel. Then follow nuances of sweet bread, fruit candy, golden raisins, and pastry cream. The mid-palate surprises with notes of chewing gum, leather, and gentle spices, while a slightly tart citrus component brings freshness.
Finish: Of good length, beginning with raspberry jam, powdered sugar, and buttercream, then turning toward drier and more complex notes of oak, leather, and tobacco leaf, with a subtle tannic presence and cocoa.
