Part of Micther's Legacy series, Shenk’s Homestead Distillery 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 the 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 is added into the next batch. This full-bodied small-batch whiskey is 91.2 proof.

This latest release of Shenk’s Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey is an expression made with a substantial amount of rye. This offering uses rye whiskey from the Vosges region of France before being naturally air-dried and seasoned for 24 months and being toasted to our specifications. This release is also in their recipes, including malted rye and caramel malt, which offer a nice creaminess to compliment the rye-forward herbaceous and spice qualities.

Distillery Notes: "Shenk’s is a Sour Mash Whiskey made with a substantial amount of rye. Following the success of the 2019 and 2020 releases where some Chinquapin (Quercus muehlenbergii) oak barrels were used during maturation, the 2021 release also includes use of this oak. The wood has been naturally air dried and seasoned for over three years and the Chinquapin oak has been charred at various char levels for the aging of some of the whiskey. This year’s release has resulted in a balanced whiskey with an elegant body and finish."
