Michter's Bomberger's Declaration 2025 Release Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
In stock
The Bomberger’s Declaration 2025 Release Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a limited edition in Michter’s Legacy Series, bottled at 108 proof (54 % ABV). The 2025 edition continues Michter’s experimentation with wood, using barrels made from Chinquapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii) whose staves were air‑seasoned for various durations (18 months up to 5 years) prior to toasting and charring. The result is intended to yield a bold, multi‑dimensional bourbon featuring layers of chocolate, floral notes, berries, salted caramel, baking spice, and rich oak character. Named in homage to the historic Bomberger’s Distillery (which later became Michter’s), the 2025 edition is crafted to honour tradition while pushing the boundaries of flavors via wood science and maturation.
Batch #L25E1904.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany-tinged edge, a warm caramel-bronze glow.
Nose
Rich dark chocolate and cocoa lead, unfolding into florals and ripe berries. A ribbon of salted caramel rests atop baking spices—cinnamon and clove—while toasted Chinquapin oak adds depth with a touch of char. Bold wood-forward aroma, mingling cocoa, spice, and a polished sweetness that hints at the bourbon’s inventiveness and pedigree.
Palate
Bold, multi-layered on the palate, with chocolate and salted caramel leading, then bright berries and delicate floral notes. Baking spice rises against rich oak, delivering a full-bodied, velvety texture and a warm, lingering finish that echoes the whiskey’s oak-driven depth.
Finish
Long, warm finish with chocolate and salted caramel, brightened by berry sweetness and baking spice. Chinquapin oak lingers, toasted and resinous, leaving a velvet tail that clings to the palate as floral lift fades into a refined, enduring warmth.
