#WhiskyInSV

In episode 70 of Whisky in SV, I did a blind tasting of Michter's Cask Strength Ryes. Despite the fanfare, I never really thought too highly of last year's release and I was skeptical whether it is worth trying to hunt it down again this year. Well a good friend shared a sample of this year's release with me and I put it up in a blind against last year's release. I concluded that while this year's release does indeed seem better, there is just some vegetal note in there that I personally do not enjoy much. As a bonus, I also tried the Michter's 10 Year Rye next to these and concluded that I significantly prefer it to both of these. However, overall, I think Michter's is generally overpriced for the experience it delivers and the only one I have ever bought that I thought was worth the money was the 10 Year "A barrel" bourbon from 2023. #whiskyinsv • #WhiskyInSV 070: Micht...

Great notes and glad you pulled in the 10 year to compare.

Thanks for the review.

I love a good spicy Rye - lots of dill, mint and spice - higher ABV - 95/5 or 100% Rye. I do love the Michter's 10 Year Barrel Strength Rye. But normally I love much much more Rye. If I want sweet I choose a Bourbon. Even then I prefer a high Rye Bourbon! Michter's is absolutely overpriced. There's a lot better out there for amazing Rye! Cheers! 🙂

Yup agreed on Michter’s being overpriced. I think my favorite value Rye right now is the Jack Daniels SiBBP ryes. They have become much more available too which is great!

@@whiskyinsv Yes the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye is nice! Better availability sure helps doesn't it?! Love that when I can find a whisky easily! I hope you are having a great weekend! Cheers! 🙂
