The US*1¬†expressions, so named to honor Michter’s heritage harkening back to America’s first whiskey company, consist of some of the finest single barrel and truly small batch whiskeys available.¬†Distilled to Master Distiller Dan McKee’s exacting specifications, no US*1¬†whiskey is ever released until Dan and the Michter’s tasting panel deems it ready. Upon its being named "Whisky Of The Year" for 2019 by The Whisky Exchange, Michter’s US1¬†Sour Mash Whiskey became the first whiskey made in the United States to ever achieve this honor. Renowned for rye – America’s oldest whiskey variety – since the earliest days of our history, we take the production of Michter’s US*1¬†Kentucky Straight Rye extremely seriously. Our Michter’s US*1¬†Kentucky Straight Rye is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to maximize the extraction of flavor from the grain. Ideal neat or in cocktails, every bottle comes from a single barrel – a unique attribute reflecting our extraordinary commitment to offering Kentucky Straight Rye whiskey of the absolute highest quality at every level of the Michter’s range.

Warm toasted burnt sugar notes with spice, sweet, smoky fruit, candied cherries, and honeyed vanilla, remarkably elegant.
