One of the most limited and coveted whiskeys in America — Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel Straight Rye continues the legacy of America's first whiskey variety (rye) from what is recognized as America's first whiskey company. Each bottle comes from a single, hand-selected barrel aged a full 10 years under the watchful eye of Michter's Master Distiller — released only when the whiskey is deemed truly ready, not on a fixed schedule. After a nearly three-year absence from the market, Master Distiller Willie Pratt gave the green light for its return in 2014, and each subsequent release has been met with immediate demand from collectors and connoisseurs alike.
