History
Michter’s Barrel Strength Rye Limited Release Bourbon is created with tradition in mind at the Michter’s Distillery in Kentucky, Louisville. It was created in pursuit of Michters goal of making the greatest American whiskey. In the 18th century, a Swiss Mennonite farmer by the name of John Shenk settled his family near Pennsylvania’s Blue Mountain Valley. After a few years of hard work and long hours, Shenk was harvesting more grains than he could sell at the local market. As a result, Shenk purchased a still and began distilling the excess grains he harvested into whiskey. His distillery, which was eventually named Michter’s, became the United States’ first distilling company. After years of experimenting with different barrel finishes, Michter’s Barrel Strength Rye stands out, being aged for an additional period in a second custom barrel. This second barrel is assembled from 24-month air-dried wood and then toasted, resulting in a highly flavorful bourbon that captures the essence of the distillery’s rich heritage.
