Michter's US*1 - Single Barrel Straight Rye | American Whiskey

In the glass, the whiskey has a nice, even coloring of bright coppery orange, very much what one might expect from a proof in the 80s and a not -too-aged liquid. The Nose is packed with fruity, spicy rye notes, but strongly belted with something of the earthy caramel candy, like a proper craft caramel candy sans the saltiness.
The liquid has a creamy texture on the palate, but in contrast to the Nose it delivers a more standard current of rye flavors, albeit with a quite woody twist. The Taste is citrus and rye spice sweet, rolled up with a pinch of wet tobacco, and with a distinctly dry and woody stripe running from start to Finish. That Finish is mild, but endowed with a lengthy, spicy afterglow.
