RARE
Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash is part of Michter's Legacy Series and named to honor John Shenk, the founder of the Pennsylvania distillery in 1753 which would eventually be called Michter's. This whiskey is made with (and named for) the sour mash process where a portion of the previously distilled whiskey mash (also called a setback or spent mash) is added to the next mash cook to ensure consistency of flavor among other benefits. For the 2024 release, the recipe includes rye, malted rye, and for the first time, caramel malt.
Also, some barrels used in the maturation process include oak sourced from the Vosges region of France which was toasted to Michter's specifications. Available in limited quantities beginning July 2024. (SRP $110) .

Tasting Notes
"Aromas of fresh cherry pie filling, cocoa, cinnamon, and air popped popcorn kernels fill the nose. The palate is on the sweet side without being too sugary or cloying, with notes of cherry preserves, cinnamon stick, cinnamon, and cocoa with a hint of black tea earthiness. The finish, in the best possible way, is chocolatey with more hints of cooked cherry and oaky aromatics—like licking chocolate cherry (Black Forest) cake batter off the back of a new wooden spoon. "
