Sila — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 13:41:16 +0000

This 2025 release of Bomberger’s Declaration Kentucky Straight Bourbon continues the flavorful tradition of using bourbon aged in Chinquapin (Quercus muehlenbergii) oak. This year’s release uses barrels wherein the wood has been naturally air dried and seasoned for different periods of time before undergoing our exacting toast and char specifications. The spectrum of barrels used have been seasoned for 18 months, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years thus changing the chemistry of the oak’s contribution during aging. The result is a bold journey of flavor with chocolate, floral notes, berries, salted caramel, baking spice and many rich, decadent layers of complexity.

Michter’s Shenk`s Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey 2025

Similar to previous releases, this 2025 Shenk’s Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey is an expression made with a good amount of rye. To accentuate the rye characters, some of the fully matured whiskey was finished in toasted only French oak barrels that were not charred. This wood was sourced from the Vosges region of France before being naturally air dried and seasoned for 24 months and being toasted to our exacting specifications. With this year’s release using the toasted French oak, a bolder, lingering spice emerges balanced by some dried fruit and toasty burnt sugar and toffee qualities.

Produced by Michter’s Distillery in Kentucky, this single-barrel rye is distilled from a high-rye mashbill and entered into barrels at 103 proof. Each barrel is bottled at its natural strength, typically ranging from 107 to 112 proof. The whiskey offers a rich profile with notes of caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, cinnamon, and nutmeg on the nose. The palate reveals layers of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and peppery rye, culminating in a long, warming finish with hints of butterscotch and clove. This cask-strength rye provides a unique and intense drinking experience.

Michter’s US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey

eve — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 16:48:42 +0000

Produced by Michter’s Distillery in Kentucky, this unique expression revives a legacy dating to 1750s Pennsylvania. Crafted from a non-traditional mash bill (50% corn, 38% rye, 12% malted barley), it undergoes pot still distillation and ageing in fire-charred American oak. The sour mash process, reusing a portion of prior fermentation, ensures consistency. It balances sweet honeyed vanilla, candied cherries, and smoky fruit with spicy cinnamon and black pepper. Recognized as the 2019 “Whisky of the Year,” it honours historic craftsmanship while offering versatility for sipping or cocktails.
