Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter's 2025 Barrel Strength Rye Review: Big Spice, Bold Proof The nose on this Michter's Barrel Strength Rye takes me directly to the dump trough where tour guests get to stick their Glencairn glasses directly into the stream of whiskey glug-glug-glugging from the cask.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Bomberger's Precision Fine Grain Bourbon Review: Layered Complexity & Elegance To me, those whiskies exhibit a greater intensity of aromas gathered while resting in the first barrel, like extra coffee, extra cocoa and extra oak and all the tannin you'd expect that the bear. But this has dustiness all over it.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Bomberger's Declaration Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review The nose is a simple pleasure and delicate in every respect: nicely floral and tropical fruity, a little honeyed, a splash of rosewater and candied violets.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter's 2024 10 Year Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey Review But that's not as fun as pointing to that classic nose of bubble gum, dried flowers and fruit pastries.

Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter’s 2022 US*1 Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey Review Michter’s 2022 US*1 Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey is a great whiskey. Always has been and, hopefully, always will be when Michter’s own maturate from its Louisville plant is bottled in the future.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Rye Review – 2020 Release This is a bottle full of goodness all around; silken yet full bodied; lush in texture but busily spicy with fruit notes. If you can make rye whiskey candy, solidify this. It’s a delight to hold in your mouth and roll around as the honeyed texture gives way to tingly spice and slightly drying oak.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon Review – 2020 Release Michter’s has treated me to the past several releases of this 10-year bourbon, and all were good, well-mannered and delicious.

Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter’s 2019 10 Year Single Barrel Rye Review Let me be blunt for a moment – I drank the hell out of this bottle of whiskey. Damn it was good. The aromas on the nose combined to remind me of sought after dusty bottles that are getting harder and harder to find.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter’s Barrel Strength Rye Review Michter’s master distiller Pam Heilmann calls this, “my favorite Michter’s whiskey.” She’s a real and regular whiskey lady, so it was believable high praise when she said that to me—unsolicited and on multiple occasions—which put me on the hunt for it. Did I mention kicking myself for not buying all
Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter’s US 1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye Whiskey Review The ladies were right on this one.
