The 2017 Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is bottled at 92.8 proof (46.4% ABV) and is distilled and bottled in Kentucky by Michter's. A single-barrel, extremely limited release drawn from stocks more than ten years old, the 2017 edition went on sale in March 2017 — the first special release approved by Master Distiller Pamela Heilmann.
Heilmann had become the first woman since Prohibition to serve as Master Distiller at a Kentucky Distillers' Association member distillery when she was promoted in 2016, and she ran the Booker Noe distillery for seven years before joining Michter's. Choosing the 10 Year Rye for her first special release put one of the brand's scarcest expressions in the spotlight. Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel Rye continues the legacy of rye as America's first whiskey variety, made by a company that traces its roots to 1753 and the original Shenk's distillery, on a Kentucky-style majority-rye mashbill with more corn and malted barley than many ryes. Each cask is selected and bottled individually at the brand's traditional 92.8 proof, so every release reflects the character of one specific barrel.
Often aged well beyond its ten-year statement, the 10 Year Rye is one of Michter's most limited and most sought-after expressions, frequently the hardest of the distillery's age-stated whiskeys to find. As a single-barrel bottling, no two barrels are exactly alike, and each annual run is quickly claimed by collectors. The official profile runs to deep vanilla and toffee, toasted almonds and cinnamon, an ample dose of crushed pepper, and a hint of orange citrus. Michter's revived its 10 Year Rye in April 2014 after a nearly three-year absence, and it has remained among the brand's scarcest releases ever since. As Pamela Heilmann's first special release, the 2017 is a landmark vintage of the modern run.
