Shenk’s Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey is an annual small-batch release honoring the legacy of John Shenk, who founded the distillery that would become Michter’s in 1753.

Finish: Exceptionally smooth, with lingering spice that slowly fades, leaving behind a balanced sweetness and subtle oak.

Ideal for sipping neat or with a splash of water, Shenk’s Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey offers a taste of American whiskey heritage in every pour—perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
