99 points The Tasting Panel: "The sweet coconut-caramel nose sways you in: a brass-rail aroma that wins you over at first sniff. And on the palate, a gentle soaking of the tongue from this 84.8-proof spirit is like having a cinnamon-covered butterscotch candy melt to reveal a red pepper core. The heat quickly lifts and the notes of summer peach and nectar of apricot are there hiding in the background, only to appear with each revered sip. (Sep 2017)"

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Crazy-sweet aroma, full of caramel, vanilla and a slight floral touch. The bite comes first (and lingers awhile), followed by vanilla, caramel, coconut flavors. It mellows considerably with ice, and becomes quite likeable, drinkable and mild. Alcohol 42.4%. (Nov 2010)"

Producer notes: "America’s first whiskey distilling company, Michter’s rich history dates back to 1753 when a farmer in Pennsylvania’s Blue Mountain Valley distilled his first batch of whiskey from hardy rye. We take production of every barrel of Michter’s Rye very seriously. Our US*1 Rye is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to enable the saturation of more flavor during fermentation. It is then aged in a heated warehouse. This premium rye has hints of light spice, black pepper, marmalade and plum, spicy grain and light caramel. 42.4% abv."
