Shenk's Homestead (2022 Release) 70cl Whiskey

You know the name Michter's, but John Shenk might not be as familiar to you. He was actually the person who founded the distillery that would later become Michter's in the 20th century, way back in 1753. Today, he's honoured with this Kentucky sour mash whiskey, made with a high rye mashbill. A portion of the 2022 release was aged in toasted French oak barrels that were made from 24-month air-dried wood sourced from the Vosges region and selected by Michter's master of maturation Andrea Wilson. It was bottled at 45.6% ABV.
