Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey

Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey honors the legacy of historic American whiskey figure John Shenk, who, in 1753, founded a distillery that was to become known as Michter's in the 20th Century. It is made in Kentucky according to the traditional Sour Mash process whereby a portion of the previously distilled whiskey mash is added into the next batch. This full-bodied small-batch whiskey is bottled at 91.2 proof.

Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey is made with a substantial amount of rye. The unique character of this offering results from aging a portion of the whiskey in special toasted French oak barrels made from 24-month air-dried wood sourced from the Vosges region of France. The exacting toast profile chosen for these French barrels by Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson highlights fruit, spice, honey, and delicate oak.
