Shenk's Homestead (2022 Release)
Michter's Distillery
Tasting Notes
Shenk's Homestead, a tribute to the founder of what would become Michter's Distillery, offers a tantalizing journey through aroma and flavor. The nose beckons with a sumptuous blend of rich molasses, warming baking spices, zesty citrus, refreshing mint, sweet honey, and dried fruit notes. On the palate, peach and butterscotch lead the way, accompanied by a delightful candied orange peel sensation. Intriguing hints of caraway and fennel seed lend a unique complexity, while subtle barrel char nuances add depth. The finish lingers with a spicy richness, leaving a lasting impression. Crafted with a high rye mashbill and a portion aged in toasted French oak barrels from the Vosges region, this Kentucky sour mash whiskey celebrates heritage while embracing innovation.
