I think Michter's makes the best Ryes of all the distilleries. That Toasted Rye might be my favorite overall whiskey in general. Thanks for putting out the great content.

I had Michter's Barrel Strength Rye once at a bar and loved it. Never seen it at a store, so honestly didn't know MSRP for that is over $100. I'll just stick to Rare Breed Rye for a higher proof rye that I absolutely love.

[jeffmather]

Michters is currently my favorite drink. I just snagged a toasted barrel. Just waiting for a special occasion to crack it open.

[jamescollins]

You guys are simply the best…. By far the best whiskey channel on YouTube by a long stretch, simply brilliant! Just wish I could get at least 10 of your recommendations over here in Oman

Heading to Louisville and I have a Michter's tour scheduled - so looking forward to it. This is a good primer as you get the four standards on the normal tour.

Michters is a product I really like to recommend in the bar I work at but it’s nice to know yall like their stuff too!

Data points:
> Michter's Barrel Strength Rye is $130 at my store (ugh)
> The regular Michter's Rye is $46 vs $27 for Bulliet Rye and $69 for Bulliet 12-YO Rye

Thank you again. With me being a newbie I just can't get over the high prices. Am happy with Michter's Single Barrel Straight Rye @ $45 here in Michigan.🥃 Cheers

[scottradermacher]

I’d like to see you guys do either a Whistle Pig or Kentucky Owl distillery review…. Both are at a price point that are hard to take a chance on but I thought the Kentucky Owl 11yr was impressive along with the whistle pig 10yr. Just another thought, keep up the good work

I may have mentioned this earlier, but a few years ago I really did not like rye whiskey, With the exception of Bulliet I avoided them. Now I look forward to trying them. Keep your mind open people, don't be afraid to come back to something.

[madjinxify]

I always keep an eye out for the toasted. I’ve had popes of it, love it. Never have found a bottle locally.

[LyleMyers]

I just picked up a 2024 Barrel Strength and am drinking it alongside the base single barrel, and while they are definitely related, I think there is a pretty big difference between the two. The single barrel has that light floral citrusy thing going, but the barrel strength is so much more complex. That being said. Would definitely like to see the barrel strength closer to $70. That’s supply and demand I guess.

[aarontagerson]

I've gotta step my Michter's game up!! Great couple of videos guys!!👊💪🥃

[scoobtoober]

I'd suggest trying all spirits in different glasses. Just opened the standard rye. Had it in a flat scotch glass and in a glen. The glen had the nose a bit muted. You guys didn't like the first one a little bit before this video.

[paulhendershot]

Great video on the Michter's lineup. I would love to see you do a show with the lineup of products from New Riff.

[TreyDaze]

Michter’s Rye is 100% the best Rye there is! It’s always on my bar shelf!

[garyberryhill]

I wish I could find anything else. US1 is my favorite but I haven't seen any of the pricier bottles in my regular shops

[graveshotx]

For those who want a similar experience to the 2021 Michters 10 year rye I swear Sagamore Double Oak is within spitting distance, only a little sweeter. I say that as someone who's had them side by side. Would be interested if anyone else has had that same experience.

[annamcmahan]

True, just bought a bottle, the 1st bottle really is much like Bulleit, but more intense and dark.

[greasyghost]

Bulleit is MGP, the 95/5
Kinda strange comparing Michters to a basic MGP. I suppose I might notice a similarity but not likely. I'm definitely a rye guy btw. (and wish I could get Michters at Michters Ft Nelson in Louisville for as cheap as y'all get it!)
It is fun bottling your own there. So far just once, w the barrel strength bourbon. Haven't opened it through. Did you open yours? With your name on the bottle it's tempting to leave it alone. Until I get a 2nd bottle maybe.
