Shenk's Homestead (2024 Release)
Michter's Distillery
Tasting Notes
Shenk's Homestead is a masterpiece crafted by Michter's, a whiskey that pays homage to the legacy of John Shenk, the founder of the distillery in 1753. This limited-edition Kentucky sour mash whiskey captivates the senses with its rich, herbaceous character, accompanied by tantalizing notes of spice, fruit, and a delightful hint of nougat. The substantial amount of rye in the mash bill adds depth and complexity, while the traditional sour mash process imparts a distinctive flavor profile. Matured in meticulously seasoned French oak casks from the Vosges region, each barrel is naturally air-dried for 24 months and toasted to Michter's exacting specifications, infusing the whiskey with elegant oak nuances. The finish is remarkably smooth and creamy, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. Shenk's Homestead is a true celebration of Michter's heritage, offering whiskey enthusiasts a chance to savor the essence of history in every sip.
