Michters Shenk Homestead Sour Mash 2025 Release - 45.6% 70cl

From Michter's comes the 2025 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! 

Traditionally made to honour "the legacy of historic American whiskey figure John Shenk". Every new small batch starts with a portion of the previously distilled whiskey mash, making every bottle a piece of a long line of history.

Palate: This whiskey offers a rich toasty, sweet, experience highlighting baking spice, dried fruits, toffee, nougat and burnt sugar.
