Michter’s has been recognized by whiskey connoisseurs as truly extraordinary. In recent years, they’ve secured accolades such as “Best American Whiskey” by Food and Wine, “Spectacular” by Robert Parker, “Magnificent” by F. Paul Pacult, “Whisky of the Year” by The Whisky Exchange, “Best of the Best” by Robb Report, and “Distiller of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast.
With a tradition in Louisville dating back to 1753, Michter’s is very much in the middle of the American Whiskey history. Painstaking attention to details is what sets these guys apart- including details like yeast selection; fermentation temperatures; distillation; wood selection and drying of staves; toasting and /or charring of their barrels.
This particular Rye was rewarded with 94 points by Tasting Panel, but I’m not sure that’s even high enough. The US1 Kentucky Straight Rye is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to maximize the extraction of flavor from the grain. This one has great notes of oats and honey, complimented by creamy notes of caramel and butterscotch. So smooth and delicious, you would never know this is bottled at 84.8 Proof.

#5 Whisky of the Year, (2021) Whisky Advocate
“Nicole Austin hasn’t rested on her laurels since George Dickel Bottled in Bond won Whisky of the Year in 2019, continuing to create great and affordable whiskeys at Cascade Hollow Distillery. This is notably a bourbon rather than a Tennessee whiskey, though the criteria for the two styles mostly overlap. The nose is nutty and well spiced, with caramel corn, toasted pecans, cinnamon graham crackers, cherry tart, and butterscotch candies. There is a friendliness to the palate that makes it ideal for outdoor imbibing, with notes of spearmint, mixed berries, nougat, and honey. Big spice on the finish makes this a memorable sip.” -Whisky Advocate
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
In terms of rare and unique bottles go, this Japanese Whisky is up there with anything in the spirits world. It’s a blended whisky finished in Sakura (cherry blossom) casks and Hibiki® 30 Year Old, a rare annual release that retails for $5000/btl. Hibiki is a gorgeous blend of ten various malt and grain whiskies from Suntory’s Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries. It’s super aptly named as all of these flavors and smells mesh together beautifully, with no shortage of flavors and aroma.
I have one of High West’s newest and rarest releases, a limited roll out of Campfire Whiskey – a blend that they make using some of the finest scotch, bourbon and rye whiskey barrels they can get. This is a pretty complex blend and it gets increasingly better and more interesting with every return to the glass and new dimension unlocked. This one checks in at 92 Proof (46% alc.) and has a ton of different caramel, oak, light smoke, leather, dried fruit and zesty spices that send your taste buds on a straight up rollercoaster ride. Unfortunately, I have only a few bottles to go round – not enough for an offer of any kind.
