Bomberger’s Declaration Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey pays tribute to one of America’s most storied distilleries—first known as Bomberger’s in the 1800s, and later as Michter’s in the 20th century. The 2025 release continues this proud heritage, offering an exceptional small-batch bourbon bottled at a bold yet refined 108 proof.
Crafted with Chinquapin Oak
This year’s edition once again showcases bourbon aged in rare Chinquapin (Quercus muehlenbergii) oak barrels. The wood for these barrels was naturally air-dried and seasoned for varying periods—18 months, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years—before being meticulously toasted and charred to Bomberger’s exact specifications. These unique aging conditions alter the oak’s chemistry, adding remarkable depth and complexity to the finished whiskey.
Tasting Experience
Appearance: Rich mahogany, glinting with warm copper undertones.
Nose: Bright fruit and roasted nuts meld with salted caramel, offering an inviting and layered aroma.
Palate: A dynamic and multi-dimensional profile begins with floral and jammy sweetness, balanced by a touch of salt. Layers of chocolate, ripe berries, and baking spice unfold, creating a bold yet harmonious sip.
Finish: Long, lingering, and complex, with spice and chocolate notes echoing alongside subtle fruit and oak.
Bomberger’s Declaration 2025 is a whiskey for those who appreciate rich history and even richer flavor—a collector-worthy bourbon best savored neat or with a splash of water to unlock its full spectrum of taste.
