Shenk's Homestead Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey 2026 Edition is a full-bodied Kentucky sour mash whiskey honoring John Shenk’s historic distilling legacy. Bottled at 45.6% ABV (91.2 proof), this small-batch release uses a rye-forward recipe with caramel malted barley, bringing added depth and warmth.
The nose opens with graham cracker, caramel, ripe stone fruit, and spice. On the palate, toffee, baking spice, and stone fruit mingle with a rich, toasted sweetness, leading to a smooth, robust finish. Enjoy it neat or over a large ice cube.
