Produced in Louisville, Kentucky, by Michter’s, Shenk’s Homestead 2022 is a sour mash whiskey with rye. It honors the legacy of John Shenk, who founded a distillery that later became Michter’s. The whiskey is 91.2 proof, sells for around $250 and includes a portion aged in toasted French oak barrels.
The present stewards of the Michter's label are fond of the phrase "cost be damned." The results are fantastic bottles of whiskey that may not fit every budget. That said, these releases are as excellent as their reputation and make for a worthy indulgence or gift. Like the core lineup, these limited releases are well worth the trouble of seeking out.
