The Anticipation Builds for Michter's 10 Year Rye Release This June 2025

Michter's 10 Year Rye: A Celebration of Authentic Craftsmanship

Michter's Distillery, renowned for its exceptional quality, has announced the upcoming release of their highly acclaimed 10 Year Kentucky Straight Rye this June 2025. This release has already generated buzz among whiskey lovers and enthusiasts alike, continuing the distillery's legacy of excellence in the world of spirits.

Located in Louisville, Kentucky, Michter's is steeped in history, and its rye whiskey is a testament to that rich tradition. Joseph J. Magliocco, President of Michter's, notes, "Rye whiskey has deep roots in the history of American whiskey. For much of the 20th century, it fell into neglect, overshadowed by others. Thanks to the creativity of bartenders who embraced quality rye in cocktails, this distinctive category is experiencing a renaissance."

What sets Michter's apart is its unique protocol for releasing their whiskeys. Instead of adhering strictly to age designations, the distillery releases whiskey based on flavor profiles determined by their experts. This means that many of their bottles often undergo longer aging processes than what is noted on the label, adding to the complexity and allure of their offerings.

The barrels designated for the upcoming 10 Year Rye were evaluated by Michter's Master Distiller, Dan McKee, alongside the Master of Maturation, Andrea Wilson.

Wilson articulates that Michter's rye whiskeys align with Kentucky's style, distinct from those produced in Indiana and other regions. “One of the hallmark characteristics of Michter's rye is the harmonious balance of exquisite baking spices combined with fresh citrus and floral notes, further accented by hints of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and sweet oak. This Kentucky rye is elegantly refined, showcasing a symphony of flavors.”

Positioned at 92.8 proof (46.4% ABV), Michter's 10 Year Rye is set at a suggested retail price of $210 in the United States. McKee expressed his enthusiasm during the tasting of the barrels for this year’s release, stating, “As someone who enjoys rye whiskey, I was thrilled to sample the barrels. The flavor profile is exceptional.”

Michter's has recently earned the prestigious title of “The World's Most Admired Whiskey” from an international academy of voters reported by Drinks International, marking the second consecutive year they have received this honor. This accolade speaks volumes about the distillery’s commitment to quality and tradition, which is evident in its extensive portfolio that includes bourbon, rye, sour mash whiskey, and American whiskey. Each product is crafted with diligence, ensuring it is matured to its fullest potential.
