DESCRIPTION

Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey 2023 from Michter's Distillery is a Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey with a significant amount of rye, including malted rye. This whiskey, part of Michter's Legacy Series, honors the history of founder John Shenk, who established the distillery in 1753.

The 2023 release has an alcohol content of 45.6% (91.2 Proof) and is produced in small batches, using special French oak barrels from the Vosges region.

The flavor of this whiskey is characterized by a soft, creamy texture and a complex aroma profile. On the nose, there are notes of caramelized apples, candied orange peel, and brown sugar, complemented by spicy and floral accents.

The palate reveals a viscous texture with flavors of vanilla, honey, and stewed red fruits, accompanied by floral, peppery rye notes and a hint of toasted oak.

The finish is long and complex, with lingering notes of chocolate, dried fruits, candied orange peel, and toasted oak.

  • Michter's - American Whiskey

    Michter's is one of the oldest whiskey brands in the United States, with origins dating back to 1753 when the first distillery was founded in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, by John Shenk.

    Originally known as Shenk's and later as Bomberger's, the distillery received its current name in the mid-20th century when Lou Forman created the Michter's brand by combining the names of his sons, Michael and Peter. Although the distillery closed in 1989 due to bankruptcy, the brand was revived in the 1990s by Joseph Magliocco and Richard Newman and relocated to Kentucky, the modern center of the American whiskey industry.

    Michter's produces a variety of high-quality whiskeys, including Michter's US1 Bourbon, US1 Rye, and US1 Sour Mash. These whiskeys are known for their rich and complex flavor profiles. The US1 Bourbon features notes of caramel, vanilla, and stone fruit, while the US1 Rye offers spicy and peppery notes with citrus accents. The US1 Sour Mash has a rich cinnamon flavor with hints of butter and almonds.

    The Michter's distillery exclusively uses non-GMO grain of the highest quality and places great emphasis on traditional production methods. This includes using the "sour mash" process, where a portion of the previous batch is incorporated into the new mash. Distillation takes place in copper stills from Vendome Copper and Brass Works.

    The distillery owns several locations, including the historic Fort Nelson Distillery in Louisville, built in 1890 and acquired by Michter's in 2012. After extensive restoration, the Fort Nelson Distillery was opened to the public in 2019. In addition to Fort Nelson, Michter's operates the Shively Distillery in Louisville and a 145-acre farm in Springfield, Kentucky.

    Michter's has earned an outstanding reputation in the whiskey world through its uncompromising approach to quality and craftsmanship and was named the world's most admired whiskey brand in 2023.
