Shenk’s Homestead, named after the Swiss Mennonite founder of the Pennsylvania distillery, is a true masterpiece. This whiskey is not a bourbon, and its unique mashbill, which includes rye, malted rye, and caramel malt, gives it a rich, herbaceous flavor profile with notes of spice. The use of French oak barrels from the Vosges region, air-dried and seasoned for two years, adds a subtle complexity to the whiskey.

Bomberger’s Declaration, on the other hand, is a Kentucky straight bourbon that boasts a bold, rich flavor profile. The inclusion of malted rye in the mashbill adds a delightful spice note, while the use of chinquapin oak barrels, air-dried for three years, imparts a deep, dark chocolate flavor.

Both whiskeys are a testament to Michter’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of whiskey production while honoring the traditions of the past. With an SRP of $110 for Shenk’s Homestead and $120 for Bomberger’s Declaration, these exceptional whiskeys are sure to delight even the most discerning palates.
