This re-release marks the eighth edition of the near-annualMichter’s 10 Year Rye Single Barrel, after a three year vacancy. This allocated rye whiskey is featured on our rye release calendar for the month of July. We review everything rye lovers need to know from price to proof.
I believe that this Michter’s 10 Year Rye release showcases how terrific American rye whiskey can be. Twenty years ago it was really challenging to sell rye whiskey.

2021 Michter’s 10 Rye Review & Tasting Notes
The Michter’s 10 Year Old Single Barrel Rye Review (2021) is theeighth edition to the single barrel, barrel strength rye lineup. The collection is essentially a special annual release program featuring single barrel expressions, which began its re-release in 2014 after a three year vacancy. The release includes the 10-year age statement.
“We wish we had more 10 Year Rye whiskey to share with Michter’s fans. Unfortunately, we continue to struggle to meet demand on all of our whiskeys as these expressions require time and attention to detail to reach the peak quality level for which Michter’s is known. Despite the limited stocks, we believe Michter’s drinkers will be thrilled with the results of this year’s efforts,” said Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson.
In this 10 Year Rye release, you can expect a multi-layered whiskey that is bold, rich, and complex with a beautiful mouth-feel. Relative to prior releases, such as the 2019 expression, you can expert more herbal mint and dried fruit notes.
