BLACK FRIDAY - SPECIAL OFFER BUNDLE DEAL - Michters Shenk Homestead Sour Mash 2023 Release & Parkers Heritage Collection 13th Edition 8 Year Old Rye

Michters Shenk Homestead Sour Mash 2023 Release - 45.6% 70cl

From Michter's comes the 2023 edition of Shenk's Homestead American whiskey.

Produced by Michter's in homage to John Shenk, who founded a distillery in 1753, which would eventually go onto become The Michter's Distillery! 

Shenk’s Homestead, a sour-mash whisky incorporating plenty of rye, matured partly in Chinquapin oak barrels.

Matured in both charred American oak and toasted French oak casks, it’s a full-bodied, bold release with an array of fruity and sweet pastry notes.

‘Sour mash’ refers to the practice of adding residue from the base of the still (‘backset’) in with the fermenting mash of the next production run. 

Bottled at 45.6% ABV.

Parkers Heritage Collection 13th Edition 8 Year Old Rye - 52.5% 75cl

Each year as part of the Parker's Heritage Collection, we select a special whiskey to be released in the name of our late Master Distiller Parker Beam.

The barrels selected for this series include Bourbon, Rye, and Wheat Whiskeys, among others, and are some of the finest and most diverse American Whiskeys ever produced.

They are a fitting tribute to the expertise of Parker Beam.

The first ever Rye Whiskey of the Parker's Heritage Collection, the 13th edition consists of 75 specialty barrels that were charred for a full minute and a half, as opposed to our traditional 40 seconds.

These "Level 5" barrels were aged for 8 years, 9 months on the seventh floor of Rickhouse Y. There, the heavier char allowed the whiskey to penetrate further into the barrel, extracting deep notes of spice and wood, and resulting in an elevation of the spicy, distinctive character of our traditional Rye Whiskey mashbill.

It is bottled without chill filtration at 105 proof.
