Honoring the legacy of John Shenk, the 2024 release of Shenk’s Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey is a full-bodied, small-batch Kentucky whiskey. Crafted using traditional sour mash methods and a bold rye-forward grain bill, this year's edition is partially aged in lightly toasted French oak sourced from the Vosges region. This experimental maturation delivers rich rye spice, creamy malt sweetness, and nuanced French oak character.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Dark amber
Nose: Crème brûlée sweetness meets baking spice and vanilla uplift
Palate: Complex and layered—herbaceous rye spice enhanced by malted rye and caramel malt; fruit, nougat, and honeyed notes add richness
Finish: Smooth, creamy, and medium‑long with lingering spice, toasted oak, and gentle sweetness
