This is the limited edition 2023 Legacy Series release of Shenk's Homestead, a Kentucky sour mash style whiskey created to honor John Shenk, the distiller who in 1753 founded what became Michter's Distillery in the 20th century. This expression is made with a mash bill that has a significantly high proportion of rye, some of which is malted. Two different barrel profiles are used in its maturation: some is aged in wood that undergoes an 18-month, naturally air-dried process, then seasoned and toasted.
The rest is aged in French oak from the Vosges region that is air dried for 24 months. It is bottled at 91.2 proof in limited quantities as of 2023.
