In September, when Michter’s Distillery releases its US\*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye a 750ml bottle will be priced a $120\. The average barrel proof bottled for this release is 108.9 (54.45% ABV).

“We released the first toasted barrel whiskey of any American distillery in 2014 because we loved the unique taste profile. At the time, we had no idea that it would create a new whiskey category for people to enjoy,” said Michter’s President **Joseph J. Magliocco**.

Michter’s Master of Maturation **Andrea Wilson** oversees the special aging protocol that Michter’s Toasted Barrel Rye undergoes. She observed, “Our Master Distiller Dan McKee and I first select fully matured barrels of our US\*1 Rye. Then we transfer each of those rye barrels for finishing into a second barrel, made of special wood naturally air-dried and seasoned outdoors for 24 months and toasted to our specifications, but not charred. The Toasted Barrel Finish Rye is designed to showcase the beautiful extractives from a toasted only finish barrel that impart remarkable character and contribute to an exceptional experience.”
