Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey 2025

Special features: The Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey 2025 honors the legacy of John Shenk, who founded one of the first whiskey distilleries in the USA in 1753. This Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey is produced using the traditional sour-mash method, where a portion of the previously distilled mash is mixed into the next batch to ensure consistency of flavor. For the 2025 release, a significant amount of rye was used, and part of the whiskey aged in specially toasted French oak barrels from the Vosges region in France, contributing to a full-bodied and complex profile.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A fruity and spicy blend of fresh apricots, ripe plums, and sour cherries, accompanied by a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg, as well as notes of charred wood.
• Palate: The taste resembles an alcoholic cinnamon roll, but without the vanilla glaze, instead featuring fruit spread. Flavors of cooked peaches, baked apples, caramel, buttery pastry, and maple syrup unfold.
• Finish: A medium-long, elegant finish with cinnamon and herbal notes from the rye, harmoniously rounding off the sweet, fruity, and spicy aromas.
