Since the 1990’s, the Michter’s team has been doing pioneering work to re-establish the high quality American Rye whiskey category. The May 2015 inaugural release of Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye marked yet another milestone in that quest.

As a single barrel product, each barrel is bottled at its particular alcohol level at the time of bottling. The bottling strength of this 2025 release ranged from 107.4 proof (53.7% ABV) to 115.2 proof (57.6% ABV).
