Neus: Toetsen van Graham crackers, karamel en specerijen worden gevolgd door aroma's van rijp steenfruit.

Smaak: Rijk en verwarmend, met geroosterde toetsen, patisserieachtige specerijen, steenfruit en toffee. De gekarameliseerde zoetheid brengt het kruidige karakter van de rogge mooi in evenwicht.

Afdronk: Zacht en aanhoudend, met goed geïntegreerde specerijen die de zoete en fruitige toetsen ondersteunen zonder ze te overheersen.

Product info about Shenk's Homestead 2026

Shenk's Homestead brengt hulde aan John Shenk, een historische figuur uit de Amerikaanse whiskeywereld die in 1753 een distilleerderij oprichtte waaruit later Michter's voortkwam. Deze editie van 2026 zet de traditie van Sour Mash verder, een productiemethode waarbij een deel van het beslag van een vorige distillatie aan de volgende batch wordt toegevoegd. Het recept bevat een aanzienlijk aandeel rogge, aangevuld met gekarameliseerde gemoute gerst, die dit jaar extra gourmand toetsen toevoegt aan het kruidige profiel.

Een deel van de whiskey kreeg een finish in Franse eikenhouten vaten uit de Vogezen die uitsluitend werden getoast en niet verkoold. Het hout werd gedurende 24 maanden op natuurlijke wijze aan de lucht gedroogd en voorbereid. Deze rijping brengt toetsen van karamel, steenfruit en zachte specerijen naar voren. De whiskey wordt gebotteld op 45,6% vol. en combineert aromatische rijkdom met zoetheid en kruidigheid.

About MICHTERS

Michter's is one of the pioneers when it comes to high-quality American whiskey. Their philosophy is not for nothing 'cost be damned', by which they mean that their first and only concern is the quality of their products rather than the cost involved in achieving that quality. Perhaps the most important example is that all their bottlings are done on the basis of small batches, or are even single barrels, which is obviously a lot more complex than mixing and bottling large quantities of casks at once.

The history of Michter's is at once long and short. The brand grew out of a distillery established as early as 1753 under the name Shenk's, founded by John Shenk, a farmer of Swiss origin in Shaefferstown, Pennsylvania. The name changed a few more times, including to Bomberger's. In those early years, they were best known for their rye whiskey, as rye was widely grown in that region. Legend has it that during the US Civil War, General George Washington was so convinced of the quality of their whiskey that he bought it for his men. Thus it was nicknamed 'The Whiskey that warmed the American Revolution'.

Like so many distilleries, they closed their doors in 1919, due to the Prohibition. Afterwards, the distillery changed hands often, until in the 1950s it was owned by Lou Forman, who changed the name to Michter's, named after his two sons Michael and Peter. The distillery then did the books in 1989, but Michter's was given a second life: Joseph Magliocco and Dick Newman bought the rights to the brand and re-established it, but this time in the birthplace of bourbon: Kentucky. There they have been building this story for almost 30 years now, and with great success.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of whisky is Shenk's Homestead 2026?

Shenk's Homestead 2026 is a american whisky .

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 a no age statement whisky (NAS)?

No, Shenk's Homestead 2026 is not a no age statement (NAS) whisky. The label explicitly states an age and that age represents the youngest whisky found in the bottle (or in the blend).

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 a single cask whisky?

No, Shenk's Homestead 2026 is not a single cask whisky.

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 a whisky at cask strength?

No, Shenk's Homestead 2026 is not whisky at cask strength.

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 suitable to give as a gift?

Although this Shenk's Homestead 2026 is not or does not have explicit gift packaging, it can certainly make an excellent gift. Gift packs are usually taken as a safe choice of gift because brands often combine the most accessible or their most popular whisky combine with a fun accessory in a nice gift pack. But if you are looking for a gift for an experienced whisky-drinker they may not be waiting for yet another glass and then this one Shenk's Homestead 2026 might even be a better choice than such a gift pack.

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 a tarred whisky?

No, there is no peat in the flavour profile in this Shenk's Homestead 2026 whisky . The absence of any smokiness therefore makes it suitable for those who do not like a peat flavour.

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 a spicy whisky?

On its own, yes, but this Shenk's Homestead 2026 is one whisky with only a slightly spicy flavour profile: the spiciness of this whisky is not emphatic in the flavour profile, but it is there.

The spiciness of a spirit can come about in different ways.

  • In whisky, the spicy notes mainly arise during the maturation process in wooden casks. The type of wood used (e.g. American oak, European oak) and whether the casks have been used before (e.g. sherry casks) have a big influence on the spiciness of the whisky that comes out of them.
  • With rum, the spicy notes can also come from the barrels used, but in addition there is also a separate class of "Spiced rum" where extra spices are added.
  • Gin has a much shorter production cycle and therefore does not usually get its spiciness from wood. Spicy notes in a gin are usually the direct result of the botanicals used to "colour" the gin and give it its own identity.
Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 a fruity whisky?

On its own, yes, but Shenk's Homestead 2026 is a whisky with only a slightly fruity flavour profile: the fruitiness of this whisky is hidden in the flavour profile, balanced with the other parts of the profile.

  • Whiskies with a fruity character can range from light and fresh apple notes to deep, ripe stone fruit and exotic aromas. This fruitiness can come from the grains, yeast and fermentation used, the shape of the pot stills and the cask type.
  • Rum made from sugar cane or molasses lends itself ideally to fruity notes. From the fresh citrus aromas of a white rum to the deep pineapple and banana notes of an aged variety - fruitiness is an essential characteristic in many rums. Again, the same factors affect fruitiness as with whisky.
Do you drink Shenk's Homestead 2026 pure or with ice?

Whether you drink this Shenk's Homestead 2026 whisky best with or without ice is a personal choice. We have always chosen not to take a stance on adding water or ice to whisky. There are certainly good reasons to add a little water to your whisky, but whether it adds value to you or detracts from your enjoyment is something you should mainly discover for yourself.

Does Shenk's Homestead 2026 have a high alcohol content?

The alcohol content of this Shenk's Homestead 2026 is higher than what you would expect from an average whisky expect. While not extremely exceptional, a whisky of around 46% is somewhat rarer anyway. Most whisky is usually closer to 40%.

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 an independent bottling?

No, Shenk's Homestead 2026 is an official bottling of Michters.

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 suitable for an Irish Coffee?

To make an Irish Coffee according to the rules of the art, you need an Irish whiskey. Since you are going to mix it with coffee and whipped cream, we recommend using a good, but not overpriced whiskey. This Shenk's Homestead 2026 is a whiskey, but because this whiskey comes from United States it is not the best choice to make a "real" Irish Coffee.

Did you know that the first Irish Coffee was invented in 1942 by bartender Joe Sheridan? He was working at the airport in Foynes, in the west of Ireland. The barman saw some tired passengers and figured they needed coffee with something special. To perk them up, he poured them coffee with a dash of whiskey mixed in and some coffee on top. When asked if it was Brazilian coffee, Sheridon replied, "No, my friend, this is Irish Coffee." And so it was.

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 vegan?

According to the data currently available to us, we cannot state with certainty that this product is vegan and this claim is not explicitly made by the brand.

Is Shenk's Homestead 2026 a biological whisky?

Based on the information available to us, we can conclude that this Shenk's Homestead 2026 whisky from Michters is not an organic product.
