Michters Shenks Sour Mash 2024 Whiskey

Michter's Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey is a highly anticipated annual release that pays homage to the historic roots of the brand. Named after John Shenk, who established the original distillery in 1753, this expression uses a unique sour mash technique. The 2024 release is a distinctive blend of carefully selected whiskies, often featuring a significant component finished in unique oak, such as Chinquapin or toasted barrels, which varies year to year. This process imparts an exceptional complexity and depth. Expect a robust flavor profile featuring notes of rich baking spice, dark fruit, dried orange peel, and a warm, nutty finish. Bottled at a higher proof to maintain intensity, it offers a luxurious, full-bodied texture that appeals to discerning whiskey collectors and enthusiasts alike.
