Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey 750 Ml

Sweet caramel notes followed by hints of nutmeg, cloves and dried fruit. Finishes smooth and elegant with lingering citus and gentle oak. 2020 Release Shenks is a Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey made with a substantial amount of rye. Following up the success of the 2019 Shenks release, where some Chinquapin (Quercus muehlenbergii) barrels were utilized during maturation, the 2020 release utilizes a greater percentage of whiskey aged in Chinquapin Oak in each batch. The wood has been naturally air dried and seasoned for at least 3 years. The longer seasoning combined with our specified toast and char allows the oak aromas and characters specific to Chinquapin oak to fully express themselves.
