The 2024 release averaged 110.2 proof (55.1% ABV), with most barrels falling between roughly 107 and 112 proof — each bottle captured at the natural strength of its individual barrel. Distilled and bottled in Kentucky by Michter's, the 2024 release was approved by Master Distiller Dan McKee and Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson and arrived on Leap Day, February 29, 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 1990s, the Michter's team has done pioneering work to re-establish the high-quality American rye whiskey category, and the inaugural May 2015 release of US-1 Barrel Strength Rye marked another milestone in that quest. The rye continues the legacy of a company that traces its roots to 1753 and the original Shenk's distillery, today one of the most admired names in American whiskey. For maturation, the rye distillate is entered into the barrel at a low 103 proof rather than a higher industry-standard fill. Barreling at this lower proof costs Michter's more in barrels and warehousing, but the distillery believes it yields a richer, smoother, more full-bodied whiskey after proper maturation. As a single-barrel product, each barrel is bottled at its own particular alcohol level on the day of bottling, so no two bottles are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled with nothing taken away, the result is a concentrated, full-bodied rye driven by warming baking spice, toasty vanilla and caramel, and a dry, oaky finish — the natural product of Michter's low-entry-proof maturation taken to full cask strength. Because it is a single barrel bottled at full proof, the Barrel Strength Rye is among the more limited and harder-to-find expressions in the Michter's lineup, and each release is quickly claimed by rye enthusiasts. For drinkers who want Michter's award-winning rye at its most powerful and undiluted, the 2024 is a standout pour and a rewarding bottle for any serious whiskey collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cask strength — 2024 release averaged 110.2 proof (55.1% ABV); most barrels 107–112\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky, USA (distilled and bottled in Kentucky)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michter's Distillery (Louisville, KY)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single barrel, limited release; bottled at cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEntry Proof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 103 (barreling strength)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooperage:\u003c\/strong\u003e New, fire-charred American white oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butterscotch and cinnamon, toasty vanilla and caramel, dry oaky rye spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Michter's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48745302393087,"sku":"MIRY24BSCA75XX","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/1586\/0223\/files\/2024Michter_sUS-1LimitedReleaseBarrelStrengthKentuckyStraightRyeWhiskey750ml.webp?v=1782499401","url":"https:\/\/canawineco.com\/products\/2024-michters-us-1-limited-release-barrel-strength-kentucky-straight-rye-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Cana Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
