Shenk's Homestead is produced by Michter's, and this is the 2018 release of the Kentucky Sour Mash whiskey. As the name suggests, it's made using the traditional sour mash process, and aged in charred American oak. The expression is named after John Shenk who, in 1753, established the beginnings of the distillery that would eventually become... Michter's! A limited 1,810 bottles were released at 45.6% ABV.
Crème brûlée with caramelised brown sugar, spicy rye and baking spices, with toasty oak and clove-studded orange.
An oily mouthfeel, with a burst of cherry jam, caramel, waxy peels and oak spice, leading into spiced milk chocolate.
Fragrant oak, barrel char and cinnamon pastries, with chocolate orange.
