Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is made from a mash comprised primarily of fresh, plump rye grains. Once the grains are harvested, they are sheared so that during fermentation, the grains are saturated with more flavor. After the grains have been fermented, they are distilled through a copper-pot still before being matured in charred, American oak barrels. The barrels are allowed to rest in a heat-cycled warehouse, which forces the wood to expand and contract as the temperature rises and falls. This heat cycling causes the whiskey and wood to mingle with each other, and contributes notes of marmalade and light caramel to the rye. Once Willie Pratt — Michter's Master Distiller — determines that the rye has reached its peak flavor, each bottle is filled and sealed by hand.

Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye Whiskey is a bottled-in-bond rye whiskey with a bold, complex flavor profile. It features notes of dried fruits, toffee, and spice, with a lingering finish of black pepper and caramel. The whiskey is crafted from a mash bill of 70% rye, 18% corn, and 12% malted barley, and is aged for at least four years in new American oak barrels. It's bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) and charcoal mellowed, giving it a smooth, balanced character.
