Rye
Purchase Price: $34
Place of Purchase: Warehouse - New York, NY
Rating: 7.8
Michter’s line-up of brown whiskies tend to cost and arm and a leg and maybe even part of an ear. Some things are worth losing extremities for, but this isn’t among that elite group of sacrificial worthies. In fact, this rye (and the Michter’s bourbon as well) doesn’t come anywhere near justifying its inflated price tag. There’s something anemic about it and that’s a trait one just shouldn’t be charged extra for. I find it remarkable that this drink costs twice as much as Old Overholt while delivering approximately half of what that grizzled veteran provides. A fraud? I wouldn’t go that far, but you can get far more bang for your buck elsewhere.
