Shenk's Homestead Kentucky Sour Mash Whisky 45.6%, bottled by Michter's Distillery in 2021, is a remarkable tribute to the distillery's storied history. John Shenk, the original founder, opened the distillery in Pennsylvania in 1753. Over time, it was acquired by the Bomberger family, whose legacy lives on through today's Michter's Distillery. This release celebrates the craftsmanship and dedication of the past while showcasing the innovative techniques of the present. This honeyed and rounded Kentucky sour mash whiskey boasts a substantial rye presence, including malted rye in its mashbill. The whisky has been aged meticulously in various cask types, with a notable portion matured in 24-month air-dried toasted French oak barrels from the Vosges region of France. The remaining portion matured in 18-month naturally air-dried and seasoned wood, highlighting Michter's signature toast and char profile. This limited edition release consists of only 1,225 bottles and carries an ABV of 45.6%, making it a unique and highly sought-after bottle for connoisseurs and collectors alike. The complex aroma of Shenk's Homestead features inviting notes of dried fruit, cherry skins, brown sugar, mint, and toffee. On the palate, it delivers a smoky, honey-sweet experience with layers of orange, mint, dried fruit, dark chocolate, and apple pie. The finish is characterized by tannic oak, brown sugar, cherry skins, and mint.
