Shenk’s Homestead Small Batch 2025 Release is a limited Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey from Michter’s Distillery, bottled at 91.2 proof / 45.6% ABV. This 2025 release continues the Shenk’s tradition of showcasing a rye-forward American whiskey style, balanced by refined oak influence and elegant drinkability.
Crafted in Kentucky using the traditional Sour Mash method, a portion of previously distilled mash, known as setback, is added to each new batch. This process helps create consistency, balance and layered flavour across every release.
For the 2025 edition, selected fully matured whiskey is finished in toasted, uncharred French oak barrels. The oak is sourced from the Vosges region of France, then air-dried and seasoned for 24 months before being precisely toasted. This careful oak treatment enhances the whiskey’s rye spice while adding delicate complexity, soft sweetness and aromatic depth.
On the palate, Shenk’s Homestead 2025 offers a smooth yet characterful profile, with notes of gentle spice, toasted oak, caramel sweetness and subtle warmth. Its approachable proof makes it ideal for sipping neat, while the French oak finish adds an extra layer of refinement.
A limited and individually numbered release, this bottle is a great choice for collectors, Michter’s enthusiasts and anyone looking to buy premium American whiskey online in Australia.
