Product Description
A whiskey rooted in American history, the Shenk’s Homestead 2025 Release pays tribute to John Shenk, the Pennsylvania farmer who founded the original distillery that would eventually become Michter’s. This limited annual expression is a small batch sour mash whiskey, made with a high percentage of rye and partially matured in toasted French oak barrels—giving it a complex, spicy, and subtly sweet profile. Crafted with precision and aged to perfection, it’s a must-have for fans of uniquely layered American whiskey. Now available at blackbook, your trusted online liquor store.
