Paying homage to the original founder John Shenk, the Shenk's Homestead is from the legacy series by Michter's. This 2020 release uses a substantial amount of rye and more whiskey aged in Chinquapin Oak based on the huge success of 2019. The wood has been naturally air dried and seasoned for at least 3 years. The longer seasoning combined with the specific toast and char allows the oak aromas and characteristics specific to Chinquapin oak to fully shine.

Michter's Distillery has gone through a few name changes, originally known as Shenk's, and later Bomberger's. In 1753 it was John Shenk who founded the distillery in Schaefferston Pennsylvania. Through the Mid-1800's Abraham Bomberger took over and in eventually landed with Lou Forman who combined his sons names Michael and Peter to form Michter's distillery.

The brand almost didn't survive. In 1989 it was closed due to bankruptcy but saved by Joseph Magliocco and Richard Newman who relocated to the heart of American whiskey country, Kentucky.
