Bomberger's Declaration 2020 Release Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
The 2020 release of Bomberger’s Declaration is a masterful blend of dark toffee, caramel nougat, and smoked old wood, intertwined with hints of dried fruits, vanilla buttercream, and a touch of cinnamon. Its depth and richness suggest an age of 10-12 years, though Michter’s keeps its exact age a well-guarded secret. The unique combination of dark sugars, char, nuttiness, and dark fruits contribute to its distinctive and mature profile, possibly influenced by the chinquapin oak.
