Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey 2025 Release is apart of Michter's Legacy Series, honoring the distillery’s founder John Shenk (est. 1753). It’s crafted in Kentucky using the traditional sour mash process—where a portion of prior mash (“setback”) is incorporated into the next batch. This rye-forward whiskey is partially finished in toasted (uncharred) French oak barrels sourced from the Vosges region of France, naturally air-dried and seasoned for 24 months before being toasted. Bottled at 91.2 proof, the result is a full-bodied whiskey infused with warm spice and toffee-forward richness (Shenk’s official, Food & Wine) 

Tasting Notes

Nose: Toasted burnt sugar, honey, baking spice

Palate: Rich flavors of toffee, nougat, dried fruit, baked sugar with rye warmth

Body: Full-bodied and smooth with creamy mid-palate

Finish: Lingering baking spice, cinnamon, and subtle herbal rye tones
