Honouring the legacy of John Shenk, the man behind the 18th-century distillery that would eventually become Michter’s, this 2025 edition of Shenk’s Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey stands out for its use of toasted-only French oak barrels sourced from the Vosges region of France, naturally air-dried and seasoned for 24 months before being toasted to Michter’s exacting standards. The result is a rich, full-bodied whiskey brimming with bold spice and depth, balanced by layers of sweetness and elegant oak influence. It's produced in Kentucky using the classic sour mash process, it’s made with a healthy dose of rye and bottled at 91.2 proof (45.6% ABV).
Toasted sugar, warm rye spice, and honeyed vanilla with a touch of dried fruit and polished oak.
Full-bodied and toasty with notes of baking spice, nougat, dried fruit, and toffee, underpinned by rye warmth and burnt sugar richness.
Smooth and gently lingering with sweet spice and toasted oak that carry on beautifully.
