Michter’s Straight Rye Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for an authentic American Rye Whisky that delivers bold spice and uncompromising character without breaking the bank?

Michter’s Straight Rye Whisky represents everything a premium rye should be—assertive, complex, and crafted with meticulous attention to detail. As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I can confidently say this expression stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Tennessee classics like Jack Daniel’s Straight Rye Tennessee Whisky, while offering a distinctly different flavor profile. Unlike softer bourbon alternatives such as Michter’s Bourbon, this rye showcases the brand’s commitment to spice-forward complexity and exceptionally smooth finish.
