Shenk's Sour Mash Bourbon 750ml

Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey

Shenk's Homestead is a limited annual release from Michter's distilling team — a tribute to John Shenk, who established one of the earliest distilleries in Pennsylvania in 1753 on the same historic site that would eventually become the foundation of the Michter's legacy. Like its companion release Bomberger's Declaration, Shenk's Homestead honors the deep roots of American whiskey-making with a bold, high-proof sour mash whiskey crafted with Michter's signature attention to quality and non-chill filtration.

Each annual release of Shenk's Homestead varies in proof and character, making every bottle a distinct expression of the year's barrel selection. It is a whiskey that connects the present to the very origins of American distilling — a collector's release with genuine historical significance.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, dried fruit, and warm baking spice with a distinctly bold sour mash character
• Palate: Rich and full-bodied — brown sugar, cinnamon, charred wood, stone fruit, and a commanding warmth that reflects the high-proof annual release
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering oak, toffee, dried fruit, and spice
