Bomberger’s Declaration is a limited edition whiskey release from Michter’s Distillery. Alongside Shenk’s Homestead, the two whiskeys make up the brand’s Legacy Series.
The bourbon pays homage to the historic Bomberger’s Distillery that operated in Pennsylvania in the 19th century. The Bomberger’s distillery was known for producing high-quality whiskey and played a significant role in American whiskey history. Michter’s resurrected the Bomberger’s name to honor this legacy.
Bomberger’s Declaration is released annually and is bottled at 108 proof.
A portion of the bourbon used in the batch were aged in Chinquapin Oak barrels, native to North America and primarily found in the eastern and central regions of the United States. The Chinquapin Oak can add its own flavor nuances to the aging whiskey. It is often described as imparting flavors of spice, vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak.
