Jeff,
Can drink it straight or also makes a great Boulevardier
guest,
Tasty. Solid. Safe rye.
Jason,
This has a nice spice profile
Manon,
Wmooth
Paul,
Excellent every day rye. Good straight or in any cocktail.
Brian,
Very impressed by Michters. Smooth but had just enough bite
Erik,
Not too bad
Hunter,
On the nose this is very sweet, exactly like cotton candy (which I love). This contrasts the classic rye spice so well. It would be rather average without the amazingly sweet nose and the fact that I love a good plain rye.
Clark,
bought as part of Ryevolution tasting box, and was the first we tasted.
pretty smooth, quite warming. tastes are not over powering. a "feeling" as much as a taste. finish lasts a while. could be good by a fire on a cold night.
Phil,
This is a really really good bottle. It smell like brownies and oak. On the palate it tasted vanilla and caramel. The finish is a really pleasant rye, spice, with a chocolate finish.
Joni,
One of my go to sipping ryes. Great bottle for the price.
Jackson,
Very solid. Love the toasted barrel more.
Nick,
My favorite Rye so far.
Nose: Rye, fruit, vanilla,
Palate: Sweetness upfront, rye, vanilla, oak, creamy mouth feel
Michael,
Excellent Rye. Very pleasant neat and also stands up in an Old Fashioned.
Greg,
Solid rye with a lower Rye content. Great nose and spicy palette.
Antti,
It is a classic, balanced, single barrel Straight Rye Whiskey that has an aromatic birth; while a spicy & savory life leads to a long & balanced death with notes of pepper & port wine.
Chuck,
Butterscotch upfront, spice on the back-end. Good sippin, without ice. A good rye for under $50.
Mat,
Spicy rye notes with caramel, vanilla and what I thought was marzipan on the nose.
Really nice rye savouriness/spiciness on the palate along with some of the sweeter flavours.
Gary,
Good for the price. Smooth on ice a little more bitter than some others.
Ira,
Loads of butterscotch, the rye sneaks up on you in the mouth and lingers on the tongue. Long, long finish.
Justin,
Smooth, like a butterscotch candy. This could be a go to sippin rye.
guest,
Amazing. Easy finish. Like candy. Very smooth
Christian,
Smooth
Jesse,
A bit harsh for me
Paul,
Bloody good drink this well worth a try
Paul,
Nice to drink with a good aftertaste
Well worth me ordering a second bottle
james,
Wonderful Rye,
Matthew,
My favorite Rye!
Josh,
Normally I don't go for Ryes because I'm not a fan of the heavy spice. But this is a very well balanced Rye and has become one of my favorite bottles in my cabinet.
Cameron,
My go to for *everyday* drinking. This is what I’ll have when a special occasion is not necessary and I’d like to just sip on some good rye.
Jeff,
I love a good Rye and this is the definition of a good Rye. It's easy to drink, tastes amazing and is priced reasonable. I thank my server who suggested I try it. This is my go-to moving forward.
Andres,
Smooth vanilla and great finish
Aaron,
Wonderful everyday bourbon that’s fantastic for the price. Great rye spice bite supported by a solid semi-heavy body. Great stuff.
William,
Exploring Rye. Just not liking the overall experience as much as straight Bourbon. A little funky on the nose and I just prefer the Bourbon palate to the spicer but different Rye. Will keep experimenting with Rye to see if my tastes grow.
Brian,
Favorite for manhattans
Jon,
Great balanced flavor. Sweet and right amount of spice
Chris,
I had been meaning to try a good rye whiskey and heard good things about Michter's so I picked up a bottle to try it out with a buddy. It's very smooth with a hint of spice. You can definitely taste the rye, but it doesn't beat you over the head with it. If you're just getting into rye whiskey I'd suggest this as a high-quality gentle sipping whiskey that's also easy on the wallet.
Chris,
One of my go tos
Brian,
I really love this rye - if I see the green label behind the bar it’s almost an automatic - smooth and tart like rye should be
Rich,
one of my all-time favorites
Anthony,
Love it! This rye is full of flavour where some eyes are lacking this one continues to keep giving. A staple for your collection and at £42 I would say is the right price point too!
Tom,
Like it. Subtle
David,
Love it, drank for first time with son in Lexington
Matthew,
Appearance: Color is amber, decent legs... Nose: Rye grain, rye spice, hint of maple syrup; overall, a little muted... Palate: Mild corn sweetness, cream, rye and baking spices, tingle of black pepper without the bite. Slightly sweet classic Rye Whiskey flavors... Mouthfeel: Impressive for less than 85 proof, average overall... Finish: Linger of rye and baking spice, lasting for the proof... Overall: Classic rye flavors and adequate flavor profile. A little pricey for what it is, but an overall positive experience
Bill,
Great sipper and great for cocktails, like to use this for a Perfect Manhattan. Really like the finish of this one, I always have a bottle and back up bottle in hand.
tony,
Super smooth
Daren,
When I ate cheese snacks, it tastes like strawberry ice cream.
Michael,
Wonderful Rye!! Very nice taste from beginning to end.
Edoardo,
Very spicy and savory at first touch on tongue, but then open a cherry/port sweet finish very pleasant. Nice taste of how a rye should be
guest,
Great Rye. Can’t be beat for the price.
Joshua,
Like it
Erik,
A beautiful expression of what rye whiskey is capable of, without destroying your wallet
Christian,
Definitely one of my top choices for a Rye Whiskey! I enjoy this rye neat, to fully appreciate the spiciness and subtle sweetness of the whiskey. Makes a great Manhattan and Sazerac too. Michter’s also has a great small batch bourbon which is amazing.
Michael,
Sweet, but a good sweet
William,
smooth strong flavour
Alex,
Excellent. Everything a classic rye calls for. Spice, savory, and slight notes of orange and marmalade. Would recommend and buy again!
Ben,
Great aftertaste. A little bit on the sweet side. Drink it neat to fully enjoy it.
Chase,
Spicy and smooth
Jim,
I gotta say I expected a lot more. It was not as spicy or rye forward as I would have liked. It tasted more like a bourbon: sweeter flavor and warm body. My wife liked it, and she hates rye and likes bourbon. So, it was fine, it tasted alright, but I was expecting rye flavors and that's where it didn't deliver.
Brent,
This was surprisingly VERY good! Not as spicy as most rye I’ve had and it’s a little light on the mouthfeel. But the taste is terrific. I caught a bit of banana nut on the palate and finished with caramel. Very easy to drink.
Jeffrey,
Smooth, good taste, but not overly impressed
Robert,
Complex and good spice to it, easy drink
Kevin,
Very smooth for a rye which makes it not as spicier as most ryes. Enjoy neat, just as good on the rocks or in a Manhattan.
Omar,
Daily zÃper ! Love the complex flavor and the price
Jay,
Tasty consistent rye
Paul,
Its orite
Lee,
Incredible mouth feel and finish
Alan,
Love this rye, great value, drinks like a much higher priced bottle.
Josh,
An easy go to. Good price point, not too spicy rye.
Ryan,
Very solid rye. I get bourbon-like sweetness with cherry and oak on the nose, spicier on the palate, initially smooth but with moderate burn on the finish
Timothy,
A smooth and somewhat less offending or spicy rye that does not disappoint with spicy oak flair. A great sipper next but makes a great upper shelf old-fashioned. Michter’s never disappoints.
James,
Between this and Bulleit Rye for my favorite Rye whiskey. Spicy yet very smooth, it goes fantastic in a rye old-fashioned or perfectly neat by itself.
Zach,
Date flavor is good on the back end
Jeff,
Solid Rye
Erik,
Makes an awesome Manhattan
Sunil,
Smooth and refreshing. Not a deep flavor profile, but it is good. Not too harsh at the beginning or end.
Sunil,
Smooth and refreshing. Not a very deep flavor profile, but I like it all the way through.
Daniel,
Aroma: hint of sweet, Woody with slight hint of smokiness. Spice that hits with the alcohol tinge.
Taste: smooth hits of smoke, spice and wood.
With ice: sweet with spice
Overall great whiskey! I did not notice the rye being as prominent, but that's not a bad thing here. There is the spice which is mild and not overwhelming.
Taylor,
Very sweet and smooth. Not much complexity on the lingering end but still delicious!
Kori,
Very spicy, smooth. A great rye.
Jim,
One of the best, smooth bourbons, especially at this price point
Maïlys,
Spicy, fresh, not sweet (I agree that it would go well for Old fashioned!)
Missing some flavor
😄
Günter,
Great for Old-Fashioned!
Joseph,
I have only had this neat in a bar, but it was think, complex and really good.
Robert,
Solid
David,
It’s Michter’s single-barrel rye. If you know, you know.
Jim,
Very enjoyable.
guest,
I get a sweet and spicy combination like a molasses cookie with a bit of citrus occasionally.There’s a good bite to it but I’m not sure if that’s spiceness or the alcohol. The scent goes from fire wood and brown sugar to Smokey wood.
Tim,
Good
Alan,
Deliciously smooth. My go to rye.
Thomas,
This was disappointed. Almost too smooth. Flat and boring. It’s easy to drink but not really enjoyable to do so.
Daniel,
Good rye for the price
Katie,
Solid bourbon for the price. I enjoyed the smooth taste.
Erwin,
OK. Sweet rye.
Patrick,
Love the butterscotch at the front and finish with the spicy rye. Awesome stuff.
Hayden,
Very good rye. Nice and spicy to start and finishes with a smooth fruitiness.
Erik,
My first Rye and it was nice even if it not my favourite type of spirit.
Rob,
Hate it. Harsh with an unpleasant aftertaste.
Robert,
Inspection: A nice Golden color, sticks well to the side of the galss.
Aroma: Definitely smell the butterscotch. With a bit of a Spice in the nostril.
Taste: Spicy overall, a decent kick. With lots of Butterscotch on the after taste.
Exhale: A little harsh due to the Spice.
Overall: Really like this so far. The Butterscotch is a big draw. Will definitely like to have a bottle in my bar.
Brian,
My go-to Whiskey. Great flavor profile at a good price.
Wilford,
Mild sweet with just a hint of rye at the end.
Uriah,
Easy to drink with just the right amount of sweet and spicy notes. Looking forward to making an Old Fashioned with this one.
Michael,
meh
Dewey,
Smooth with a bold flavor
Luke,
Really liked this Rye Wiskey...
George,
For some reason this has found itself as my least favorite rye on hand. I am not sure why but I find the flavor profile disagreeable. I wanted to like it more but cannot.
Kipton,
Great Bite and lingering followthrough
Anthony,
Compared to most of the eyes I drink (Beam, Jack) this was top drawer.
Denmon,
Ok. Underwhelming.
Bill,
This is a very good rye
Ben,
Good, mellow, when you wan to ease into the night.
Craig,
Very smooth and easy to drink.
guest,
It will make you rethink rye vs bourbon !
Veronica,
Love it, so smooth!
Simone,
Sweet and easy to drink. Gf loves.
Anthony,
Outstanding bang for buck.
Ryan,
One of my favorites for an old fashioned or on the rocks
CARL,
Fantastic! Very Smooth neat! Made an Old Fashion with it and was awesome! I will be buying this Rye again, my new favorite!!!
Ryan,
Smooth and flavorful
Nick,
Not really a big rye fan, much prefer bourbon, but this bottle might start to change that. Smooth and flavorful without the overwhelming spice that turns me off to most ryes that I’ve tasted. Nice sipper neat although I generally prefer a cube or 2. I will buy again and it was good enough to get me interested in exploring some other rye whiskies.
Bryce,
Top-notch Rye for a minimal price
Dan,
Peppery, caramel, smooth. It is a solid, easy drinker.
Joseph,
I didn’t know I liked rye whiskey until I had this. Smooth, has heat, great straight or on the rocks. Peppery, Some sweetness, little bit of a bite, nice after taste

Delicious rye that I’ll never pass up the opportunity for a glass.

Some sweetness with heat. Fast finish.
Nathan,
I didn’t know I liked rye whiskey until I had this.
Carl,
Spice, edge, heat, OK.
ron,
it was a great bourbon highly recomended
Jake,
Good flavor but very robust on the spice which is not my favorite. However as part of the tasting box it was appreciated as it was something I probably would not have ever tasted otherwise.
Brad,
I enjoyed this Rye. Had touch of sweetness with a good, not overwhelming bite to it.
Gerry,
Very smooth tasting
Albert,
A very tasty rye. The butterscotch/caramel notes came through as it had a spicy sweet finish for me. I will be picking up a bottle of Michters rye to have on hand.
Daniel,
This is what a rye is will be ordering this again
Brian,
I enjoyed the Michters Rye alot. It was a smooth taste with a very nice bite of rye middle and finish.
Went out and bought a bottle after my Flaviar sample was finishted!
Sean,
Everything one should expect to love from a great rye!
Bruce,
I am not much of a rye fan in general, the three stars is a reflection of that. That being said, it was very flavorful and I would recommend this to a rye drinker based on how much I enjoy the bourbon and American blended whiskey that Michter's offers.
Matthew,
Decent, but too harsh a burn at the end for me.
Zechariah,
I’m not a rye guy.
Richard,
Well done!
Richard,
Very easy drinking rye.
Aaron,
Solid and drinkable.
Barry,
Good front, spicy middle, fruity and sweet muted nicely
Dean,
This Rye is ok. Front end is very sweet. Finish is peppery, but ends with a sweet syrup taste and feel. It is really lacking in the Rye department. And really is to sweet for a whiskey in my opinion. Still not bad to sip on.
Michael,
Solid rye.
Matt,
Solid...like everything Michter's does
guest,
Best!
guest,
Grape in the nose, herbs in the middle, metallic finish.
guest,
Great sipping rye
guest,
I think it's a great sipping rye
guest,
A mellow rye. Coconut, vanilla. Not as much grain as I expect in a rye.
Bradley,
Solid rye. Straight or for the perfect old fashioned
Timothy,
Great rye spice, smooth and clean, best enjoyed neat.
