Shenk’s Homestead 2020 Sour Mash Whiskey

Shenks is a Sour Mash Whiskey made with a substantial amount of rye. Following the success of the 2018 and 2019 releases where some Chinquapin (Quercus muehlenbergii) oak barrels were used during maturation, the 2020 release also includes use of this oak. The wood has been naturally air dried and seasoned for over three years and the Chinquapin oak has been charred at various char levels for the aging of some of the whiskey. This years release has resulted in a balanced whiskey with an elegant body and finish

APPEARANCE: Dark golden amber NOSE: Brown sugar aroma with baking spice and fresh citrus PALATE: A beautiful sipping whiskey with some sweet caramel notes followed by hints of nutmeg, cloves and dried fruit FINISH: Finishes smooth and elegant with lingering citrus and gentle oak.
