Michter's Distillery will be releasing its Shenk's Homestead Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey and Bomberger's Declaration Kentucky Straight Bourbon this July. Vintage dated with the year of the bottling, these distinctive whiskeys comprise two-thirds of the Michter's Legacy Series, to which a third whiskey, Bomberger's PFG™ (Precision Fine Grain), was added this year.

   "Our Michter's production team puts a great deal of thought and a lot of effort into making our Legacy Series releases special," commented Michter's President Joseph J. Magliocco.

   In 1753, Swiss Mennonite farmer John Shenk founded Shenk's distillery in Pennsylvania. This distillery was later renamed Bomberger's Distillery in the 1800s before its name changed again to Michter's Distillery in the mid-20th Century. It is this heritage that the Michter's Legacy Series honors.

   "I really enjoy the bold and lingering baking spice notes in the 2025 Shenk's release. Some of it was finished in French oak toasted, but not charred barrels crafted from wood grown in the Vosges forest, and this helped to accentuate the character of the rye in this whiskey," observed Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee.
