Bomberger's Declaration Bourbon is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by Michter's Distillery. It is part of the Michter's Legacy Series, which honors the heritage of the former Bomberger's Distillery in the 1800s. Reviews of Bomberger's tend to highlight its complexity and bold flavor profile, but there can be variations between different annual releases.
Here's a general overview of characteristics commonly found in Bomberger's Declaration Bourbon, based on reviews of various releases:
Proof: Typically 108 proof (54% ABV), though the 2025 Precision Fine Grain release is 100.2 proof.
Aging: Aged in Chinquapin oak barrels, which are naturally air-dried and seasoned for extended periods before toasting and charring. Some releases, like the 2025, also involve a finishing period in specialized barrels, such as the "Precision Fine Grain" French oak barrels used in the 2025 release.
Mash Bill: Undisclosed, but it's a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, so it contains at least 51% corn. Some releases, like the 2023 and 2024, are noted to include malted rye in the mash bill, which impacts the flavor profile.
Flavor Profile:
Dark and Rich: Many reviewers describe it as having a dark, bold, and barrel-influenced flavor. Notes of chocolate (milk, dark, fudge), caramel, brown sugar, molasses, maple, and vanilla are frequently mentioned.
Fruity: Notes of dark fruits like cherries, dried cherries, berries, plums, and raisins appear in several reviews.
Spicy: Baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, anise, and pepper (white and black) are also prominent. Some reviews even detect a note similar to "cinnamon cola".
Earthy/Woody: Toasted oak, charred oak, leather, tobacco, and hints of herbal notes from the malted rye have been observed.
