The story behind it

The maker

Michter's legacy trace back to the mid-18th century, representing one of America's oldest whiskey-making traditions. Re-established in Kentucky, the brand focus on producing limited-production whiskeys of exceptional quality, honoring historic mash bills and innovative barrel finishes.

How it is made

Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey is a tribute to John Shenk, who founded the historic Pennsylvania distillery in 1753 that would later become known as Michter's. Today, this bourbon-style sour mash is crafted in Kentucky utilizing a proprietary wood program that incorporates French oak toasted barrels.
