Has anyone had this? There was a recent discussion of rye that included the ususal suspects of Jim Beam, Old Overholt and Wild Turkey.

I just saw this at my local packie yesterday. Perhaps I'll pick some up. It was about $32 for a 750ml.

I've had Michters regular bourbon. It was very good. I would say buy it and try it.

I've also had (all of) Michter's bourbons, but not their rye. My view of them isn't as favorable as parshooter's . I think they're mediocre and expensive. If you can find Van Winkle rye, I'd bet on it being much better and about the same price.
