Michter's Barrel - Barrel Strength Straight Kentucky Rye
Michter's Fort Nelson Distillery is located in the historic Fort Nelson building located in Louisville , United States . The four-story building was completed in 1890 and was part of the defensive Fort Nelson built by early Louisville settlers in the early 1780s. The Fort Nelson building was purchased in early 2012 with plans to renovate the building and be the first brand to restore a functioning distillery to downtown Louisville. Michter's uses only non-GMO American cereals that are classified by USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) standards as US No. 1 ; the highest level of grain quality available in the United States. These grains (corn, rye, barley, etc.) are delivered to the production site in Shively (Louisville), where they are then tested in Michter's laboratory and ground using the "Michter's Cage Mill" which was designed and custom built by Stedman.
Michter's Barrel Rye is made from American rye, distilled and aged in new toasted American white oak barrels.
