This whiskey honours the legacy of the historic American whiskey figure John Shenk, who in 1753 founded a distillery that was to become knoWn as Michter’s in the 20th Century. Shenk’s is a Sour Mash Whiskey made with a substantial amount of rye. The unique character of this offering results from aging a portion of whiskey in special toasted French oak barrels that were made form 24 months air dried wood sourced from the Vosges region of France. The exacting toast profile chosen for these French barrels by our Master of maturation Andrea Wilson highlights fruit, spice, honey and delicate oak.
Palate: A whiskey to savour complimented by highlights of smooth spice, dried fruit and honey.
