Shenk's Homestead (2018)

Shenk's Homestead – Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey – 2018 Release

Batch L18C260 – Bottle 402/1810 – 45.6% – 70cl

Shenk's Homestead is an annual limited release from Michter's Distillery, created as a tribute to John Shenk, the Swiss farmer who founded one of America's oldest distilleries in 1753.

The 2018 edition is particularly sought after by collectors thanks to its small production run and maturation in specially toasted French oak barrels , which gives this whiskey a unique flavor profile.

Flavor profile:

• Nose: warm spices, burnt sugar, subtle vanilla and light wood notes.

• Taste: soft caramel, cloves, raisins, sweet malt and elegant oak.

• Finish: long, refined, slightly spicy, with a warm sweetness.

Why interesting for collectors?

• Very small batch (1810 bottles)

• Annual release with high demand each time

• Strong investment potential

• Rarely offered on the market anymore

Score: 91/100
