Michter's Shenk`s Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey 2025

Michter’s Shenk’s Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey 2025 is a limited annual release inspired by the historic Shenk’s distillery, a predecessor to Michter’s in Pennsylvania and later Kentucky. Built on a sour mash recipe, bottled at 91.2 proof, and matured in carefully selected barrels, it offers a richer, more layered take on American whiskey than the core range.

In the glass, it typically shows deep amber colour with aromas of sweet grain, caramel and vanilla, backed by baking spice and a hint of tobacco. The palate is generous and rounded, with notes of toffee, toasted oak and dried fruit, plus a gentle warmth from the alcohol that lingers on the finish. This is an allocated bottling for the 2025 release, with limited UK availability at Blenheim Vintners, suited to fans of Michter’s looking for something more distinctive than their everyday pours.
