The first whiskey brand to be named as ‘The World’s Most Admired Whiskey’ by the voters of the UK-based Drinks International, Michter’s is set to release another soon-to-be-admired expression this June. If you’re a fan of any of Michter’s award-winning rye whiskeys, you’ll be excited to learn that the iconic Kentucky-based distillery recently announced the release of the 2026 version of its popular 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye.
Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye
Matured for at least a decade in charred oak barrels, this 92.8-proof whiskey is well known for its complex, nuanced flavor profile featuring notes of sticky toffee pudding, toasted vanilla beans, dried fruits, candied nuts, and cracked black pepper. It’s the type of whiskey you’ll want to savor neat or on the rocks on a chilly spring or summer evening.
Michter’s President Joseph J. Magliocco explains, “At tastings, we occasionally encounter bourbon drinkers who are reluctant to taste rye because of past experiences.”
“We explain that Michter’s makes Kentucky-style rye that is different from many other American ryes. More often than not, those bourbon drinkers discover that they really enjoy our rye.”
said Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee added, “We make a Kentucky-style rye that has more corn and malted barley in its mashbill than many other ryes. The result is a well-balanced rye whiskey that has a rich sweetness and a flavor complexity that complements its spice notes.”
Where can I buy it?
Michter’s 10 Year Rye will be available in June at select whiskey retailers throughout the US at a suggested retail price of $210 per 750ml bottle.
