Michter's – Shenk's Homestead Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey 2023 Release

This is the 2023 release of Shenk's Homestead, a Kentucky sour mash whiskey from Michter's. The series honours John Shenk, who founded a distillery in 1753 that went on to become Michter's. It is made by the sour mash process, in which part of a previous batch is added to the next, with a substantial amount of rye in the recipe. Malted rye and caramel malt are also used, adding a creaminess to the rye-led herbal and spice character. The whiskey was aged in French oak from the Vosges region, air dried naturally for 24 months and specially toasted.
